The twists and turns in this saga are completely unexpected. Won't give away spoilers - there are many thrilling, shocking, gruesome and difficult moments, it almost seems like a made-up exaggerated Bruce Willis type action movies, but they turned out to be mostly true depictions of events.
In reality, the Chinese company involved lost billions and had to declare bankruptcy. 900 employees were trapped and engaged in firefights and crossed the Sahara desert to try to reach Benghazi.
The tension in the movie doesn't let up until the very end.
The backdrop is the brutal civil war in Libya, where rebel armies, with the help of NATO, overthrew Gaddafi. The scenes of chaos by ISIS like militia can be difficult to watch, so parents beware.
Highly recommended as it is based on real life accounts.

I've watched almost all of Oliver Stone's films, including the original JFK, so I was prepared for a less gripping and more matter of fact documentary dive experience, but I was wrong.
No one who watches this can be unmoved by how a whole generation of the brightest, most honorable and courageous politicians, leaders, their aides, all good decent Americans, Europeans, Africans, Asians, looking to work together to forge for world Peace, justice, equality, as promised by Kennedy and the world leaders he was diligently working with, were all taken out and replaced by a cold, murderous, evil, hegemonic cabal.
This is the record of a Murder of the last great hope for all of the generations after the killings of the Kennedys. America will never see any finer specimen willing to put down their lives for their country, people, and for Honor. Watch and Weep.

This is a high quality production, but it does require some knowledge of the history of Qin, the first united China and the first emperor, in order to understand the complex plot and intrigues. GOT fans, with a lot of patience, might like this.
The costumes, sets, acting, action, etc are magnificent and close to historic accuracy in all the lavish antique details.
If you want to understand China, its political traditions, philosophy, psychology, strategies, art of war, etc. This is not to be missed.
Giving it top ratings because it deserves much higher scores.
