Downtime's the worst; the adrenaline leaves and my mind just starts to wander," says CIA security contractor Jack Silva (John Krasinski) about two-thirds of the way through 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi, inadvertently summing up what's wrong with Michael Bay's latest, a cool 90-minute action flick padded out into a lumbering ooh-rah male weepie…. Overlong and at times ponderous… 13 Hours is also, in stretches, about as pure an action movie as Bay is likely to make.
