What comes to mind first after watching the movie is how the people lived in the past. With reference to that living in today's world has definitely improved. Another example of such cruel world is shown in the movie gladiator. The other thing that comes to mind is the adivasi's, what for example could be the reason that they don't want to connect with the modern world, is shown precisely.Tone, Script & Story: The story is about how an adivasi tribe is looted and captured, despite which one of them escapes, fights back and saves his family.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: 'Very good' is the term I would use. May it be jungle, waterfall, market place, place of execution and arrival of modern machinery, everything is set nicely.Final Verdict: Example of how adivasi does exist is shown nicely. The ancient world that resembles violence is also picturised well. It is worth watching.

Pretty well done adventure with a story that can almost be believed. There are quite a few things that I don't believe are accurate but are holding on because they don't impede the story. A story of survival. The first part with the taking of prisoners reminded me of the Mohawks. They were like that.

Gibson obviously has fetish for quasi-historical movies. He sets historical stage and plays fictitious events on it, but so convincing that it is easy to believe they really happened. He's good actor, but much better writer and director. Also, improvement in his movies is evident. He started with typically Hollywood spectacle Braveheart in 1995. Decade later he made hideous The Passion of the Christ, but improvement in directing and production is huge. And two years later we get Apocalypto that overcomes both predecessors beyond comparison. Although it is less historical than previous two, it is much more believable and stronger. I'm anxious to see if the newest Hacksaw Ridge is even better.8/10
