Review: Hacksaw Ridge

After ten controversy-filled years, Mel Gibson returns to the director’s chair in this biographical war film, based on the experiences of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), a pacifistic combat medic who saved the lives of 75 men during the battle of Hacksaw Ridge, despite never firing a weapon.
