Hacksaw Ridge [DVD] [2016]

The Blu-ray provided an excellent picture and sound. The movie is based on the true story of a World War II American Hero who won the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Okinawa. What really is different is the hero was a conscientious objector who would not kill and would not carry a weapon. He was a medic who risked his life numerous times and saved many American lives during the battle. I am glad this movie was made because I served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and witnessed Navy Corpsmen risk their lives to save Marines. They were very brave men and I felt they never truly got credit for their actions. Back to the movie, my wife and I watched it together and we both enjoyed the movie. My wife is a registered nurse and she is used to seeing blood, but if you cannot stand bloody battle scenes then this movie is not for you. The acting in this movie was outstanding and you become emotionally involved with several characters. A great movie by Mel Gibson. Watch it!

2 thumbs up for this movie.I haven't seen an amazing war movie this good in a while. I don't regret this purchase at all, lots of excitement and it's based on a real story.

Welcome back Mel Gibson. Hacksaw Ridge is amazing. The movie flows amazing, never a dull moment. The acting is perfect, great performances all around thanks to the outstanding lead Andrea Garfield packing so much emotion into a complicated character. The direction is incredible as well, I've never seen any battle scene with so much realism since Saving Privats Ryan. It's hard to believe the film had only a quarter of the budget because it looks incredible. I never really focus on this aspect of a film, but the movie sounds great too. The sound feels so real, as if I'm actually on the ridge walking through the bloodshed. The film is edited amazing too, each frame has a purpose and never feels out of place. Great movie production and a good story as well. The only problem I have is that I feel the last ten minutes were kinda rushed, but really that's just a nitpick and did not ruin the movie for me at all. I loved it and will be sure to watch it again.

I really loved this movie. One of the best war movies I've ever seen period. The story of Desmond Doss and his desire to serve his country while still holding to his convictions was inspiring. It is so unique, and the fact that it is based on his true story, is amazing. Mel Gibson did a masterful job telling this tale. Made you feel like you were right there with them. Highly recommended.

Fantastic movie with some of the year best performance. I've never would've know such a story exist if not for this movie. It's also a Oscar nominated.

I wanted to see this movie from the time the trailer was released. I typically wait until it is released on blu ray so that I can enjoy it on my own terms. I was not disappointed and this is a must buy for all movie lovers and especially those with home theaters systems. It looks beautiful, sounds amazing and has phenomenal acting!

I have recommended this movie to my family and friends. So far it's been a tear jerker for those who watched it. It worth watching again and again.

one of the best true story movies that i've seen in a very long time. Awesome great movie
