Hacksaw Ridge not quite up to standard

Rating: 5/10 (5 November 2016)

Make no mistake, this movie tells the story of an ordinary man doing great deeds but unfortunately one cannot help but feel something was missing, or wrong, with the telling of that story. Hacksaw Ridge suffers from the same problem/s that made the mini-series The Pacific a loser. Both were made in Australia with a predominantly Aussie cast. The pretend American accents were so bad they were distracting and many of the settings seemed false, especially those around Hacksaw Ridge itself. Styrofoam rocks etc that just didn't quite cut it etc. The acting in the main was average and the direction only so so. To the reviewer saying this movie will scoop the Oscars, I say nonsense. Great story, not so well told.
