A powerful and often challenging war pic about personal values, "Hacksaw Ridge" gets an exceptional performance from Andrew Garfield and acts as a fittingly redeeming piece for director Mel Gibson.

Mel Gibson and historical accuracy haven't always gone hand-in-hand (Braveheart and The Patriot) but with Hacksaw Ridge he does justice to Desmond Doss and his incredible story of courage and conviction. I was afraid this film was going to be too preachy or too patriotic, but I think the story was handled very well and the scenes of war were the most realistic and brutal since Saving Private Ryan. Plus, if Gibson can make Vince Vaughn in to a compelling soldier, anything is possible. Certainly among the better films of 2016.

not much to say. great acting unique story , really great brutal action scenes. this is how you make a movie and do it on a modest budget. the big expensive and bad moves need to take note, mel gibson is a great director. a expert at action scenes and conveying a story. nice to see something good for a change.

Easily the best movie of the year so far, Hacksaw Ridge is another masterpiece from brilliant director Mel Gibson. Featuring excellent performances across the board, top notch technical credits, a moving incredible true story and some of the most ferocious battle sequences ever committed to film, Hacksaw Ridge takes it place with Saving Private Ryan as one of the best war movies ever made.
