Review of Hacksaw Ridge (2016) by Dunnyone — 19 Jan 2017

Truly, this is the most spectacular was film since Saving Private Ryan. Once the action begins, it's non-stop, jaw dropping scenes until the film ends. Unfortunately, the first hour and a half is awful soap-opera style scene-setting that could have been told in a ten minute scene.

Also, this is a deeply religious film, but what else can you expect from Mel Crucify me quick Gibson. Terrible first half (you've seen it all before), but outstanding second half. So that gets a 5 from me.
