Trivia
According to producer Erwin Stoff, the diplomatic compound and CIA annex were built using the actual plans. "What we did, is we had actual plans and satellite images of the original structures, and we had the guys. So we built these, we replicated both the annex and the diplomatic mission exactly to the inch."

Goofs
Libya's official language is Arabic. When Jack Silva arrives at the airport, a terminal announcement is in Persian. When an embassy staff try to open Safe Haven during the attack, the attackers are speaking Persian.

Quotes
Tyrone 'Rone' Woods: Payback's a bitch and her stripper name is Karma.

Alternate versions
International release and American releases have an alternate shot when the characters are boarding the plane at the end of the movie. In one version 'Bob' the CIA base commander simply says 'Sorry' to Jack, and in others he says 'I'm proud to know Americans like you'.

Too Realistic

I have seen this film twice. Both times I was disturbed by it for the next few days after not sleeping the nights I watched it. I fought in Afghanistan 2004-05 and Iraq 2006-07, and for me, this film nails it. The night vision green, the sound of the AK's, the streets and allys, the mentality and sense of duty, all of it is too realistic for me to watch again. But I respect that. This is the only film I can think of that really rattles my cage. Well done.

I wouldn't say it's the best war film I've ever seen, but for my experiences, it accurately portrays them, despite me never having been to Libya. It's accurate of my personal experiences to a large degree.
