Waste of time

Instant Favorite.

Good movie but grossly overrated

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is an excellent film. It kept me thrilled all the way throughout.

Your amazing war movie and Mel's "triumph" would cramble to pieces if the japs were not just some stupid screaming heathens and one of them had actually cut the rope ladder with his katana... How do you proceed to make a big budget movie like this when your whole story is based on this weak concept?I watched it with 4 more people and the question was the same from everyone... Why they don't cut the rope? P. S. Hugo Weaving's performance was once again superb.

Andrew Garfield shines in this movie. So does the supporting cast. There's something so admirable an unique about how the movie is made. Its like you're watching a movie made before 2000 but in a good way. The movie never bores you. The drama is solid and the when the movie gets brutal OMG I can't praise the intensity and the gimness of the perfecrtly filmed war scenes. The only knit pick about the movie is that I found Vince's charecter of the Sarge a bit over the top. But its okay. He also gives a competent performance. The standouts are Hugo Weaving and Andrew Garfield.

10 years after the film '' Apocalypto '', Mel Gisbon comes back with a new master-piece entitled '' Hacksaw Ridge '', which is inspired by a true story of Desmond Doss. The young male-nurse wanted to go to fight on Okinawa's battlefield but he refused to commit the ultimate sin : to take the life of somebody. During the first hour of the film, we focus on Desmond Doss's character, particulary his relation with his father, the fact he wants to engage for the war, his relationship and his life on Fort Jackson. Then comes the second part of the film, we assist to incredible and more realistic scenes of the history of cinema. This humanistic film is caracterized by the duality between the innocence and the faith of Desmond Doss. This duality is present from the beginning of the film, with and carefree Desmod and some clues which tell us that the forehead call is here. The cast is excellent and the actors's game is irreproachable : Teresa Palmer, Vincent Vaughn, Saw Worthington, Hugo Weaving. The character of Desmond is represented as a salvator heroes by his actions and convictions, but also his faith for humanity. The negative point of this movie is that the romance is too present for a film focalized on war. This movie is one of the best war movie of american cinema.
