Andrew Garfield is the star of Mel Gibson’s latest film, Hacksaw Ridge. Garfield plays real life WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, a man who joins the army but refuses to kill people…
I don’t know what the word is for how this trailer makes me feel but I know I’ll have to be in the right mood to sit and watch. It seems to have a kind of Forrest Gump quality but pulls even harder at the heartstrings; all of which makes me think that the end product is going to be dare I say, overly sappy.
Perhaps I’d be more intrigued had the trailer not revealed so much. All that has been left out of this trailer appears to be the presentation of the Medal of Honour. As continues to be the case, I ‘m missing the good trailers of the past that really cleverly showed you only enough and never too much.
My favourite Mel Gibson directed movie will likely always be Apocalypto (2006).
Sam Worthington, Ryan Corr, Luke Bracey, Vince Vaughn and Hugo Weaving also star.
Hacksaw Ridge Release Dates: November 4th ,2016 (US); (GER)
Happy Film Loving 🙂

I agree about the seemingly excessive sentimentality. I’d also add that the music in no way helps.
I thought it was a good movie, but a bit too slap-in-your-face sentimental for my tastes. I would appreciate it if you could check out my 100 Word Review here: https://scribblesofstageandscreen.com/2016/11/14/hacksaw-ridge-gritty-sentimentalism-100-word-review/
Hello Jo, 🙂 I’ll be sure to check out your review once I’ve seen the film.
