One of the Best Movies in My Recent Memory

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2017)

Mel Gibson is BACK as a director!
Hacksaw Ridge was one of the most profoundly moving movies I have seen in a very long time.
Also, I am very glad to see Andrew Garfield back. He portrayed Private Desmond Doss with a lot of verve and enormous heart. He did great with Spiderman, but no one could have ever guessed he could be this good. Garfield is in possession of some serious acting chops!
Other cast members deserve attention, too: Sam Worthington comes back from a very successful role in Avatar, to play a convincing and heartfelt Captain Glover in this movie. There was also Hugo Weaving; I never would have guessed he would have been able to play a grieving, alcoholic Virginia blue collar father. But he did. One may be given to think of him as only these ostentatious supporting characters, but see him in Hacksaw Ridge, and you'll believe he can play anything too.
Gave this film 10 out of 10. Hacksaw Ridge, from beginning to end, was an absolutely superb movie.
