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.

This trailer gives off a kind of Forrest Gump (1994) quality but somehow manages to pull 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 find myself missing the good trailers of the past that cleverly showed you only enough but 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)
