I saw the trailer for Hacksaw Ridge and just assumed, "It's another Clint Eastwood World War II movie." It's not. This is a Mel Gibson joint and frankly, that doesn't mean much to me because neither The Passion of the Christ or Apocalypto peaked my interest and Braveheart came out twenty years ago, so that doesn't mean much to me. It all happened by chance - I just picked whatever movie was playing at a time when I was free to hit the movies while I was traveling. "I like Andrew Garfield," I thought. "I'm sure this'll be the inspirational sports version of a war movie."
Nope.
Hacksaw Ridge is many things, but for the feint of heart, it is NOT.
