A masterpiece of filmmaking!

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2018)

Mel Gibson has managed to portray the integrity of an individual standing by his beliefs and insisting on serving his country in the best way he knows - despite that country's sometimes perverse efforts to thwart his intentions and challenge his faith - while simultaneously portraying with frightening realism the savagery of modern warfare that showed up so starkly everything the hero was against. It is nice to see true goodness - as opposed to the fake Hollywood variety - portrayed in film with all the complexity and courage that embodies.
