Hacksaw Ridge (2016) Movie Review

Hacksaw Ridge (2016) Review


Another movie based on a true story about the experiences of Desmond Doss, who did not want to carry any fire weapon in the second WW. The movie is directed by Mel Gibson, his 4th one, after "Braveheart", "Passion of the Christ" and "Apocalypto", all excellent and violent movies, just like this one. The way Mel Gibson directed it is stunning, great camera shots, great angles, you can see and understand everything. It deserves the Oscar nomination for directing, best picture and best actor. Speaking of best actor, Andrew Garfield does an excellent job in portraying Doss, giving an Oscar winning performance. Maybe he will forget that he got snubbed in 2011 for "Social Network". The war scene from Hacksaw is amazing and it reminded me of the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan", the scene from the beech of Normandy. An excellent, emotional and an excellent tribute to faith, valor and staying true to your own convictions. A gripping war movie. Gibson is back! 9.5/10

OK guys, enough for today. Tune in tomorrow when I review the movie "Loving" and "Moana" or "Manchester By the Sea". Gotta decide. Take care and have a nice day!
