A masterful film.

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2017)

Once again Mel Gibson delivers a masterful film and a breath of fresh air in the war film genre.
Hacksaw Ridge hits on every aspect that a war movie should, action, drama, suspense, and heartbreak.
But within the insanity of war, lies a story a true hero and patriot, Pfc. Desmond T. Doss. A man who risks his life and puts himself last in order to save the lives of others.
This movie is a true inspiration and juxtaposes that even within the monstrosities of war there can be true hope and beauty within the battlefield and teaches us that violence is not the only answer and that it is honorable to refuse to commit murder in the act of war.
The cinematography is beautiful and captures the essence of each scenario beautifully, whether it's a dark and gloomy war ridden Okinawa, or a small town in the USA, accompanied by an amazing score and very good editing.
I would say this movie is a very emotional thrill ride that will leave you inspired, heartbroken and speechless.
See it.
