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'…
An ideologically flawed but well-crafted & well-acted war film that promotes a pacifistic message of tolerance and sacrifice. Garfield is great as is the rest of the cast. Say what you will about Mel Gibson, he isn't the best among people, but he's a skilled director. Although Gibson clearly gets off on the gratuitous graphic battle scenes, his film is much less fascist than many other war films (I'm looking at you Saving Private Ryan). Have you heard of any war story like this one? I haven't and if this shit happened today... it wouldn't happen. I liked it.
Meski dari kisah nyata, namun tak seperti tipikal film kisah nyata yg biasanya memaksapadatkan biografi karena ini hanya fokus pada satu dua peristiwa. Benar Nolan pantas gusar akan Dunkirk mendatang, sebab maaaan gw kasih garansi lu bisa nemuin semua emosi yg umat manusia bisa/pernah rasakan. Mel Gibson menebar rata ranjau-ranjau romansa, getir, haru, buncah, patriotisme, bahkan kejutperanjat who would've thought there would be jumpscare in a fucking war movie. Baku hantam dialog penuh respon tak disangka dikirim oleh akting wahid. Berkali-kali gw mewek liat penghayatan karakter mereka. Sungguh suatu berkah bisa keluar dari bioskop gw bisa olah rasa.
Hacksaw Ridge = Emas Murni
Yeah. This movie's kinda cheesy and Hollywood friendly anWHAT THE FUCK SCREAMING HIS HEAD'S GONE WHAT'S GOING ON JESUUUUUS
Oh God, the cringe!!!
1/3 Lifetime Originals, 1/3 of every war cliche possible and 1/3 cartoonish violence.... Mel is back.
