Not Quite Right

Rating: 5/10 (23 February 2017)

Someone PLEASE tell Hollywood that guns have recoil!!!! As for the battle scenes, they were TV quality at best. In one scene a Marine picks up a severed torso for cover (from 6.5/7.7 arisakas LOL)and charges the Japanese lines while shoot a Browning automatic rifle with one hand, I actually started laughing. There is one scene where the hero pays handball and soccer with grenades, another good laugh. Sorry, found Hacksaw Ridge phony and in some parts just plain corny. I didn't need to look away from the bloody scenes since there was no feeling of realism whatsoever. Comparing Hacksaw Ridge with Saving Private Ryan is a complete injustice. Mr. Gibson needs to spend some time at a rifle range.
