Hacksaw Ridge

It's a War Film and about the World War 2.

"Hacksaw Ridge," about a pacifist who won the Medal of Honor without firing a shot, is a mess. It makes hash of its plainly stated moral code by reveling in the same blood-lust it condemns.

But it's also one of the few original action movies released in the last decade, and one of the only studio releases this year that could sincerely be described as a religious picture of course, it's directed by Mel Gibson, who rose to international stardom in R-rated action flicks and went on to become the true heir to Sam Peckinpah, directing a series of astoundingly violent films with cores of spirituality: "Braveheart,"

"The Passion of the Christ" and "Apocalypto." True to form, "Hacksaw Ridge" draws equally on Gibson's bottomless thirst for mayhem and his sincerely held religious beliefs—or some of them, anyway. It's a movie at war with itself

Doss hears the cries of the dying soldiers and decides to run back into the carnage. He starts carrying wounded soldiers to the cliff's edge and rappelling them down by rope, each time praying to save one more. The arrival of dozens of wounded once presumed dead comes as a shock to the rest of the unit below. When day breaks, Doss rescues Howell and the two finally escape Hacksaw under enemy fire.

Hacksaw Ridge was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of its top ten Movies of the Year 2016 and has received numerous awards and nominations. The film received six Oscar nominations at the 89th Academy Awards.

Believe me, you can't afford to miss this movie.
