    If you're a fan of John Krasinski fan, then you probably know what this film is already.

    Yes, Jim from The Office and PEOPLE' Magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' of 2024 is largely known for his role in the ever-popular series, as well as his other comedic roles like Leatherheads, It's Complicated and Monsters vs Aliens.

    However, he has a few serious films under his belt - like A Quiet Place, which he also directed, Promised Land and Detroit.

    And it shouldn't surprise you that he also a bit of an action man - after all, he was Jack Ryan in the TV series of the same name since 2018.

    And a 2016 biographical war film Krasinski starred in has been called 'super intense' and 'one of the best movies' that fans have ever seen.

    High praise, indeed.

    In case those accolades interest you, what might interest you further is that it was directed by none other than Pearl Harbour's and Transformers' Michael Bay.

    And if there's anyone who knows a thing or two about war and explosions, then it's him.

    So what is the film then?

    Well, it's called 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and you can watch the trailer here:

    13 Hours is based on a book of the same name and follows the six members of the US army's Annex Security Team during the 2012 attack on Benghazi, Libya, where the group strives to protect the American diplomatic compound.

    While the film didn't do so well on a critical standpoint, only scoring 53 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it faired much better with the audience at 83 percent.

    And over on the Netflix Banger's Facebook group, it appeared to be the same story.

    One Facebook user took to the group to ask for reviews of film as they planned to watch as soon as their 'power supply is restored'.

    One person replied: "One of the best movies, watched it so many times makes me sad and angry," while another added: "Watching it live as it unfolded was horrible. They did an excellent job with the movie."

    And the comments just kept on coming, as a third typed: "Super intense," as a fourth shared: "Best movie ever."

    "I bawled like a baby. Just to get out of the theater so I could breathe a minute. Very intense," someone else wrote.

    And another viewer had seen it 'several times', adding: "So good!"

    So, will you be flicking it on?
