Heavy War Drama.

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2017)

OK, I know this was Mel Gibson. OK, I know it would have strong religious overtones. I still liked it despite both of those. I found myself drawn deeply into this film. It was brutal. Horrific. What war probably truly is. I have never been to war or any armed conflict, but I believe that this film would be a rather accurate portrayal of what that hell would be like. Garfield was a lovable character that brought live to the mythos of Doss. As a man who has strong personal beliefs, Doss/Garfield is willingly thrust into a torment that puts all of his creeds to the test. As most movies that are based on a true story or a real person do, there is a small scene at the credits with the actual people, I was touched by this point. A very good film.
