Review of Hacksaw Ridge (2016) by Sanyrub — 01 May 2017
The film itself is a 7/10. Andrew Garfield is a big 9/10. The guy is amazing. This young actor is going to have an amazing and respected career. He is so good, versatile, expressive, emotive. He exudes personality and I don´t doubt they can throw any role at him that he´ll deliver.
He even shone over what the normal actor playing those type of roles shine when he played Spiderman. It also helps that he is a real open minded and kind person in real life. The film: it is very well made, it´s based on a pretty interesting person and I love that person´s principles.
Other than that it is a pretty save film that we have seen before in a way. But it is definitely still a great watch. Every single character (and actor) catches your attention. Mel Gibson definitely helped many old friends to get a role in this film and they all delivered to be honest.
The biggest BUTS for me are some cheesy scenes (so common in this type of films) and Gibson´s obsession with blood and religion. Two things that really put me off in general. Still, even that, is saved by a splendic Andrew Garfield who deservengly got his first oscar nomination for best leading actor with this role.
