A True Hero...

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2017)

In the midst of World War 2 young man, Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) is prepared to give his all for his men, without touching a gun.
This movie surprised me, it was a breath of fresh air. Going in this movie you must understand that it's brutal and savage, it depicts war at it's fullest and not just the physical pain but emotional too. We follow Desmond a real life war hero who follow the commandment "Thou shalt not kill". We see him struggle to get a girl and finally to be one of the brave warriors who will fight at Hacksaw Ridge. He undergoes brutal training and even becoming and outcast among his fellow soldiers. The scenes depicted here are hearth-breaking and hard to watch. The movie is excellently shot, with great visual effects and beautiful angles. Cinematography was breath taking and the acting was phenomenal. Andrew Garfield surprised me greatly, he brought so much power to this character and I must say I liked him better here then in Silence. Mel Gibson gives so much to this movie, he let's these actors express themselves, the emotion is dripping from the movie. Hugo Weaving...I have not seen him in a long time and he left me speechless, I was taken in this so much. Teresa Palmer was also really good, maybe one of the best performances of her carrier. The war itself is almost horror like, the way it's shot and depicted is scary. You can feel the tension in every scene, I was on edge the whole movie. This is one of the best films last year, if you haven't watched it go and give it a try, If you like war movies or drama movies in general you will love this one.
