Vey intense movie,

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2016)

I am glad Gibson traded his career as an actor to direct movies. Despite of the negative sounds he got when he made Apocalypto and The passion of the Christ, he did not let them beat him down. And I am glad for that.
Hacksaw Ridge has a magnificent cast. The first half of the movie has a romantic taste. It did not feel like a Gibson made movie. Vince Vaughn was hilarious. The first half was the building up towards a second half that turned out to be quite a spectacle. It felt like I was in that war. Very great shot, beautiful soundtrack, well done acting.
Maybe some will say this movie is nothing compared to Braveheart, The last samurai or even Platoon. I think that is correct. This one is a different war.
