A rarity to ever take your eyes off the screen

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2016)

From start to finish, 'Hacksaw Ridge' practically demands attention. From the early phases of backstory and developing the "who is Desmond Doss?" answer, to the 100 mile an hour action sequences. 'Hacksaw Ridge' leaves its audience in awe at what is occurring on screen, and as previously stated before; this is a film to see for the year... Andrew Garfield does such a phenomenal job at portraying the kind-hearted Desmond Doss. In an environment filled with rough and tough characters and an enemy with nothing but bad intentions, Garfield creates a loving and heart warming character that you can not help but smile at... The battle scenes were incredible. From the very start, my jaw was floored and I could not take my eyes off the screen. It was just a constant barrage of chaotic action. Quite possibly one of my favorite aspects of this film due to the sheer intensity of the action portrayed... Lastly, I was very impressed by how Mel Gibson and company took true accounts said by Desmond Doss himself and inputted them into the film. Without spoils, this was very pleasing to watch as it happened.
I thoroughly think this may have some Oscar nods coming its way soon. Myself and some of my fellow film fans believe this too. One big recommendation by Oberrated to see 'Hacksaw Ridge' before it heads out of theaters and if not, definitely catch it upon its digital and physical copy release. From the director chair, to the artists in motions, to behind-the-scenes players, this whole product was quite the piece of entertainment.
