reception

The film is classified less as an accurate historical film and more as a generic action film. The political background is not discussed. The special forces' military combat tactics are in the foreground. In the USA, the “Benghazi Affair” is politically explosive. The film started at the beginning of the primaries for the 2016 presidential election . The criticism of the State Department and, indirectly, of the then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the inadequate security measures and the lack of reinforcements is incidental. The causes of the conflict or events such as NATO's participation in a military operation with air forces in 2011 are not discussed. The brutality of the fighting is staged in a contemporary naturalistic way and is not glossed over. The attackers' motives remain unclear and are of no further concern for the protagonists . In the style of a military first person shooter , the attacking waves of anonymous enemies are repelled.

The cost of production was estimated at $ 50 million. The film grossed around $ 69 million in cinemas worldwide, including $ 53 million in the United States.

Awards

The sound engineers were for their work Gary Summers , Jeffrey J. Haboush and Mac Ruth in 2017 for the Oscar in category Sound Best nominated. The production was also nominated for the Satellite Awards 2016 in the field of sound .
