if i wanted to be preached at for two hours and witness messy explosions with rats crawling everywhere i'd have just gone on film twitter and stated an opinion
Hacksaw Ridge might be the most realistic portrayal of War ever put on screen.
Mel Gibson proves once again that he is a legitimate top-notch director. This film is incredibly well made. Every aspect of this movie is impressive. The performances. The visuals. The battle scenes. The story. The characters. You name it, and this movie does it well. The man deserves a Best Director nom!
If Andrew Garfield isn't AT LEAST nominated for an Oscar, it will be a travesty. This is Andrew Garfield's movie, but aside from him I was most impressed with Vince Vaughn. I've never seen him take on a roll like this and I think he pretty much knocked it out of the park. He…
I left Hacksaw Ridge with such a powerful reaction that I never get with movies. I left this stunned and almost speechless. It's one of the best directed movies of 2016, with great editing, beautiful cinematography, fantastic performances, most notably Andrew Garfield (His best performance and possibly the best of 2016), Vince Vaughn (Brings a lot of the films funniest moments to the light), and Luke Bracey (If you thought he was bad or dull, this will get you a few steps away from that), and intense combat sequences. The movie is heartbreaking, intense, and hilarious (Can't believe how funny this was honestly) all in one. We need more movies as good as this. Seriously a must see.

Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge is a flawed but impassioned rewiring of his own particular brand of monstrous viscera. Arriving back at the director's chair after years of controversy intermingled with periods of silence, Gibson's WWII epic is an outcry for forgiveness, a film where faith prevails and surface exteriors are evoked, shed, broken down. It is both a conventional, swooning biopic and a hardened, grisly showcase, a film where two halves collapse into one mythic tapestry; a portrayal of Man as masculine beings threatened by the utilization of non-violence only to be saved by their very own 'conscientious objector.' While Mel's knack for melodrama is just as sturdy as ever, his innate understanding of story structure (insert 'South Park'…
Such an emotional ride. Probably my favorite war film not counting Inglorious Basterds.
Mel Gibson did an amazing take on the Battle of Okinawa and the all out firefights just puts you in shock an awe!!
The war movie about peace.The story of Desmod Doss makes me feel bad to call myself a good person.This movie will make you cry, will make you smile and it will also remind you what horrible things we can do to each other.In the end, you won't believe a man like Desmond existed.
A truly war film, and the new must-watch for every war film lover. Mel Gisbon (he-who-must-not-be-named) delivers a strong true story with some of the most amazing and gruesome battle scenes ever to be put on screen.
Garfield meets the expectation in a film made for him to stand out.
Very gory film, but probably the most accurate representation of WW2 I’ve ever seen in a movie before. I loved this
A dorky, naïve war movie that tries to make up for its shortcomings by piling on the gore, then overdoes it to the point of being laughable. The anti-"Thin Red Line."
it lost half a star bc mel gibson directed this and andrew lost his bestie but my god a movie where vince vaughn is serious deserves the 5
“Hacksaw Ridge” features some of the most brutal and harrowing depictions of the horrors of war ever put to film, to a degree that rivals even such masterful works as “Saving Private Ryan” and “Full Metal Jacket.” These scenes, along with Andrew Garfield’s stellar performance, make the message of this film very clear. It shows a man who was in an extreme situation, one in which everything he believed was threatened, and through it all, saves the lives of over 70 men. I first saw this film in theaters, and I’ll never forget how in awe I was at the scene where Desmond lowers several wounded men down the ridge one by one, each time praying for the strength to…
