I have watched this 2 years after its release. This movie is worth watching on big screen.War movie and being a biography is the best combination.Doss is the best soldier, I have ever seen.Highly recommended.

That should show how much I love this movie.I love Mel Gibson's work, and for this to tie with "The Passion of the Christ" for me is something. The movie tells the true story of Desmond Doss, a religious 18 year old man who will not kill anyone in World War 2. The Ten Commandments forbid murder, so he refuses to do so. He won't even carry a gun. (He makes one exception, but it's essential to save someone.) Instead he saves the lives of wounded soldiers, letting thousands of people live who would have died otherwise. How interesting and inspiring that is. A man loves God and his country so much that he will fight a war, by saving his enemies, and his people. I guess that's why I think "Hacksaw Ridge" is as great as "The Passion of the Christ." This is one the best modern movies I have ever seen. Even if you are not religious, you can appreciate the fact that Doss stood up for his beliefs and went to war to help people, not hurt them. Note to people: Despite being somewhat of a Christian movie, there is a little profanity but it's PG level. There is war violence, but it's war, it's not glorified. There is implied nudity but nothing dirty is shown, just the tops of the married people smiling at each other, preparing for sex. The scene is a handful of seconds long. It's Rated R, but before you think it's inappropriate, I'll name 20 worse ones and have way more! This is an excellent movie. There isn't a reason you should avoid it all your life.

Hats off to Mel Gibson for a brilliantly realistic film! Andrew Garfield is sensational in his role! Inspirational, fantastic, awesome!! The battle scenes are heart wrenching and emotional. Easily the best war film I've ever seen.

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.
