Michael Bay releases intense “13 Hours” trailer

Michael Bay's “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi” dropped its trailer on Paramount Pictures' official YouTube page yesterday, and thankfully, it doesn't look completely terrible. The first comforting sign is the fact that James Badge Dale and John Krasinski actually look pretty badass as the leads in the picture. 

Another good factor about the trailer for “13 Hours” -- based off of Mitchell Zuckoff's book of the same name, is that Michael Bay's action looks as kinetic and explosive as per usual. 

However, if the sensitivity and lack of gravitas that Bay's World War II picture “Pearl Harbour” lacked is still absent in “13 Hours”, there's going to be a field day with people claiming that Michael Bay is doing nothing more than cashing in on a controversial subject. While “Pearl Harbour” had a good couple of decades separating the reality from the cinematic equivalent, the Benghazi attack is still somewhat of a fresh would in the American psyche. 

“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi” opens in theaters on January 15, 2016.
