It has been said about 'Hacksaw Ridge' that the second half is better than the first half, something that is agreed with by me.
Just that the first third does take time to get going with a pedestrian pace, the dialogue is corny in fact, to me the dialogue is the least good thing about 'Hacksaw Ridge' in general and the element that rings true the least and the sentimentality is laid too thick this is also particularly true in the slightly underdeveloped romance. Throughout 'Hacksaw Ridge' has exceptional production values, in particular the cinematography in the battle scenes, and Gibson directs like his life was depending on it.
For a vast majority of the time, the story is very compelling and makes the most of mature and very easy to relate with themes. It has a wide range of emotional impact, being for the second half intensely powerful, much of the film being poignant, some of it sardonically amusing without it being out of place and also all of it inspirational.
Rather than straying from the facts for dramatic license, Gibson is surprisingly respectful this time round. Andrew Garfield has yet to give a better performance than his astonishing turn here though he is splendid too in Martin Scorsese's 'Silence' , and Gibson similarly brings the best out of Sam Worthington often a charisma-free actor but here doubts were cast aside and Vince Vaughn at his sardonic best while also touchingly subdued, proof that he can be good if the material serves him all which too often in his career it hasn't but it does brilliantly here.
Hugo Weaving is terrific, also giving some of his best work in some time. Teresa Palmer makes the most of her role. In conclusion, a near-triumphant come-back. I guess that Hacksaw Ridge could probably best be compared to the great Gary Cooper film Sergeant York which hewed pretty close to the truth about Alvin C.
Like our protagonist Desmond Doss here, York had a rural background and joined a pacifist religious sect. Unlike Doss, York grew up as a hunter and was a dead shot. He wasn't sure what he would do if a combat situation arose. But he did what he did and got every decoration imaginable including the Congressional Medal Of Honor.
Doss had a tougher row to hoe. He would not touch a weapon and the film will show you why. He felt it his patriotic duty to join, but as a combat medic, save lives rather than kill. With no weapon to defend his own person, this medic saved a lot of people at an engagement at a place dubbed Hacksaw Ridge in the Battle of Okinawa. Cooper won one of his two Oscars for Sergeant York and Garfield really suggests his character in what he does with Doss.
Hacksaw Ridge did win a pair of Oscars for its Sound. Gibson got nominated for Best Director and the film itself for Best Picture. Hacksaw Ridge shows the horrors of war and from it the beauty of heroism when people have to summon their personal best and become more than themselves.
