13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi was supposed to be Michael Bay?s Black Hawk Down, a chance for the action maestro often criticized for his style-over-substance approach and use of lowbrow humor to tell a compelling story of real-life heroism based on politically-charged recent events. However, the film is facing negative criticism of it's portrayal of Libya. Some of the few active filmmakers still working in Libya, the embattled nation where the events of the film take place, are chastising the movie for what they say is an inaccurate portrayal of their country and its people. Local filmmaker Osama Rezg who recently saw the film harshly criticized the way Bay and his team chose to depict the war-torn nation. He commented, " ?Just from the trailer, you can see it?s not Libya, the actors aren?t Libyan, even what the characters are wearing is not authentic to what a Libyan would wear.?
