I just have to give a thumbs up to this film .I watched HACKSAW RIDGE yesterday. Gruesome most definitely and yes i do like my war films but this was as realistic as you can imagine . Brilliant story, brilliant effects with limbs being torn apart and guts being spread all over the place but a true story that deserves to be told and well done that man for never giving in to his beliefs and quite litterally being branded a coward when he showed the most courage in the face of what must have been an horrendous and most frightening experience. A must see film even if you don't like war films.
