Waste of time

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Of course I support the idea of the Bible, some quotes and the screenplay was awesome. And here is my rating. But I just want to support too the idea of the rope... The Japanese could simply cut it or wait for the American to climb and then kill them... And of course you need more ropes for an army like this... Thank you.

Mel Gibson never fails to disappoint on and off the screen. He has such vision and it shows and pays off on film. I have never heard of Doss's story before this movie and I think that is such a shame because like they said in the movie, what he did was "nothing short from a miracle." If you have never seen this movie than I recommend it 1000%!

That should show how much I love this movie.I love Mel Gibson's work, and for this to tie with "The Passion of the Christ" for me is something. The movie tells the true story of Desmond Doss, a religious 18 year old man who will not kill anyone in World War 2. The Ten Commandments forbid murder, so he refuses to do so. He won't even carry a gun. (He makes one exception, but it's essential to save someone.) Instead he saves the lives of wounded soldiers, letting thousands of people live who would have died otherwise. How interesting and inspiring that is. A man loves God and his country so much that he will fight a war, by saving his enemies, and his people. I guess that's why I think "Hacksaw Ridge" is as great as "The Passion of the Christ." This is one the best modern movies I have ever seen. Even if you are not religious, you can appreciate the fact that Doss stood up for his beliefs and went to war to help people, not hurt them. Note to people: Despite being somewhat of a Christian movie, there is a little profanity but it's PG level. There is war violence, but it's war, it's not glorified. There is implied nudity but nothing dirty is shown, just the tops of the married people smiling at each other, preparing for sex. The scene is a handful of seconds long. It's Rated R, but before you think it's inappropriate, I'll name 20 worse ones and have way more! This is an excellent movie. There isn't a reason you should avoid it all your life.

Hacksaw Ridge is a film based on a true story about a Seventh-day Adventist and turned U.S. Army corporal, a pacifist who won the Medal of Honor for his outstanding bravery on Maeda Escarpment during the Battle of Okinawa without firing a shot as a combat medic and "conscientious collaborator". It is an astoundingly violent film, reminiscent of director Mel Gibson's previous films and of Sam Pickinpah's style of violence in conflict and war mixed with the notion of faith. In a way, it is a film that feels like it is at war with itself for the opposing moral codes it exhibits. The film's style is questionable at times, not for the mayhem, gore and graphic violence, but for Gibson's compulsion to use explicit threat and violence in scenes that are uncalled for and feel out-of-kilter even away from battle. Scenes of violence on the battlefield sometimes suffer from tension exhaustion because of their sheer length. Yet, Gibson has the sensitivity to leave out some scenes of Doss's bravery because they might have been deemed too unbelievable by audiences, even though they certainly were not. Nonetheless, Andrew Garfield delivers a careful performance as Corporal Doss and the film has a strong supporting cast of good performances. Mel Gibson, still hard at work under the ritual of expiation, is still a competent filmmaker of traditional Hollywood blockbusters and this film is his best film direction since Apocalypto.
