ay what you will about Mad Mel Gibson, he's a driven, febrile artist, and there isn't a second in his war film Hacksaw Ridge - not even the ones that should register as clichés - that doesn't burn with his peculiar intensity.

quote:

A bluntly effective faith-and-flag war drama, the true story of a remarkable hero with a knot of moral tension at its center.

The result, though corny at times, treads close to madness and majesty alike, and nobody but Gibson could have made it.

I'm sure the movie is good but I really don't have any desire to see it. Comes across as too "touchy-feely/we can solve all our problems with a hug and a cup of hot cocoa".

Its a shame they're releasing this opposite Dr Strange. Hopefully people still go see it.

The movie hasn't even hit theaters yet. Rottentomatoes is fluffing reviews to stoke interest. It will be another shitty mel gibson bombshell (pun intended).

Again, this movie may be unreal, but whoever made those trailers should be fired immediately.

It comes off like an SNL spoof. I laugh every time.

Definitely going to see it because it's an awesome story and Mel just makes great movies, but come the frick on with that trailer (and that accent).

I just enjoy the fact that at the trailer 1 phase, "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BRAVEHEART". Fast forward about 2 weeks, "FROM DIRECTOR MEL GIBSON".

Hollywood was truly shunning this man..
