Hacksaw Ridge (out Nov 3) is a World War II tale told from a very different angle. Based on actual events, it follows a soldier who refused to bear arms based on his religious beliefs and yet became a hero worthy of the Medal of Honor. The film takes a little while to get going but this latest effort from director Mel Gibson makes an impact in the second half. Grade: B+.
