It's a game by Blow. (Gaming)

I just watched 13 Hours. There's a Joseph Campbell line that gets repeated a few times, and it comes across as a little pretentious because there is nothing else in the movie like that. In a different movie, it would not have been pretentious at all.
Pretentiousness isn't good.
Fun fact: while working on that film last year, Michael Bay said that he thought he had a shot to win an Oscar for it, in all seriousness. It was delayed enough that that can't happen in 2016, so we'll see next year…Could explain the quote.
It's good but not Oscar material IMHO.
Since it left Netflix as of today, I also watched The Hurt Locker over the weekend. It's a better movie. Neither is as good as American Sniper or as entertaining as Three Kings, as long as we're talking war films.
