An era old but not obsolete

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2017)

You hardly see World War II films get the spotlight like this and Hacksaw Ridge shows that those types of films are far from dead. I struggled to get into the film for the first hour but when we finally arrive at Okinawa, that is where the film shines brightest. The long start and the fact the film is more "based on actual events" than actually portraying them is what holds this film back from anything higher.
