Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)






Directed by: Mel Gibson

Written by: Robert Schenkkan & Andrew Knight

Starring: Andrew Garfield




To be honest, I can't say I'm surprised that this film was good.  It's directed by Mel Gibson.  Ahm, Passion of the Christ?  Yeah, good stuff.  (But not a huge fan of his acting.)

Anyway, Desmond Doss (Garfield) has a strong belief in not touching a gun.  He does not condone violence, at least from himself.  But he feels the need to at least serve his country so he joins the army.  In his service he commits to not use a gun and then faces problems with the higher ups.

I thought this film was awesome.  I'm not saying it was amazing, but it was pretty great.  There is one scene in particular that was very intense.  Also I thought that Teresa Palmer was beautiful and great at acting since she plays diverse roles in terms of comparing this one to Lights Out.

If you have a chance, I suggest watching this film. 5 popcorns.
