Hacksaw Ridge (2016) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Hacksaw Ridge (2016) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

I love the bit where those Japanese soldiers fake surrender and Andrew Garfield's character is forced to choose between sticking to the letter of his pacifist life vow, OR whack those grenades back into those weasels’ faces. ❤️

Excellent review! I like Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood, too.

Chryss Guiler

A lot of the CO’s after Desmond became medics during US conflicts as a way to serve

Jason Mangen

One of his best

Great reaction, as always! Garfield is a very talented actor who often doesn't get a lot of credit, and Vaughn is very good in the right roll (and this one was perfect for him). On a side note, it's already been recommended, but I'll throw Apocalypto out there again as a must watch. That film really surprised me: a terrifically orchestrated and extremely well paced epic adventure film that really sticks with you well after the credits start rolling. (And, like all of Gibson's movies, it's brutal as hell.)

This, times 1000.

This is the first time I've seen this all the way through, at the same time. I started watching it when I first hit video. Got to the courtroom scene, stopped and never got back to it. I saw the war part on some movie channel like a year later.

Donna Castellano

Amazing reaction, you two! Really enjoyed the watch. xD That jump that Samantha had when he looked over that ledge.. yikes! hahaha, I wasn't expecting you to yelp like that. Definitely am all for more war film reactions. I don't have any off the top of my head that I can recommend but I trust that you'll choose solid ones. :) Thanks for great watch!

Logan Kerlee

If not, strongly recommended!

Logan Kerlee

Can I take it from the intro that you guys have both already seen Braveheart?

Fraser

This must have been the most silent reaction to date with both of you so invested except the jump scares. Excellent reaction! Hope you'll watch We Were Soldiers (2002) starring Mel Gibson, Greg Kinnear, Sam Elliot and Madeline Stowe, directed by Randall Wallace (Braveheart screenwriter).

David Lengyel

Seconded on all counts

Odd Thomas

Nah Mel is not a nutjob but certainly a great artist

Ken Veader

Highly recommend the Australian war movie "Gallipoli" starring a young Mel Gibson.

David Murray

Love Mel Gibson as an Actor and Director !! I'm Really Looking forward to the Lethal Weapon Series !!! I can only recommend all 4 Parts to you!!! Another Great Film of him is "Conspiracy Theory" from 1997 with Julia Roberts and Patrick Stewart as Co Stars !!! Another Great Films are "Signs" from 2002 and "Ransom" from 1996

Florian Meier

Mel Gibson is the perfect example of separating the art from the artist. He may be an absolute nutjob, but when he's behind the camera, you cannot deny his ability to make incredible films. Even as a non-believer, Hacksaw Ridge still gets me everytime.

Chris W

On our list! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Definitely on our list! I didn't know it was a Mel Gibson film! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Agreed! -Sam

Looking forward to this! Another great one would be 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

David Crabtree

Gotta see Mel Gibson's Apocalypto

Ken Veader

This is a hell of a war film
