What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Geoffrey McNab  Bay's gung-ho treatment demeans story. | 5 |  |
| Die Burger Paul Boekkooi Integriteit speel hier groot rol. | 15 |  |
| Cape Times Todd McCarthy The film's patriotic tenor is as unmistakable as its sentimentality. | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Overall, I liked the film well enough to give it a slight recommendation as it's easy to get caught up fully in the action and tension. But once removed from that and looking back at the experience, the pic's flaws come more into the light. | 11 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a comparatively mature and restrained effort from Michael Bay, albeit one that can't quite boast the impact its fact-based story deserves. | 11 | |

| CommonSenseMedia Staff evaluation Explosive take on politically charged topic is very violent. | 10 | |
