Great World War 2 movie

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2016)

"Hacksaw Ridge" is an extremely realistic and well-made World War 2 movie. Mr. Garfield sparkles as Desmond Doss, with the real-life's characters sweet earnestness and simple, religious convictions. The rest of the cast does well, too. Vince Vaughn is a convincingly tough Army sergeant. The battle field scenes are horrific and brutal. It is incredible that our fathers and grandfathers went through such horrors. Mr. Gibson brings it all back with a great directing touch and outstanding cinematography. As an Army veteran, I wanted to see the movie. I have enjoyed all of Mel Gibson's movies, though I would never want to see "Passion of the Christ" again. Now that he is back, I am hoping Mel continues to direct more outstanding movies like "Hacksaw Ridge".
