Hailed as the “best film ever”, Netflix’sHacksaw Ridgeis a war epic that’s drawing in viewers despite its gritty story. Undoubtedly, its appeal lies not just in the familiar and beloved face of Andrew Garfield, but also in the unbelievable story it tells.
For those not aware,Hacksaw Ridgeis a biographical film, based on the true story of one Desmond T. Doss, a man who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honour despite never bearing arms during the entirety of World War II. Doss cited religious grounds for his reasoning and, despite the initial criticism he faced from his peers, proceeded to save 75 men in the 1975 Battle of Okinawa.

Funnily enough, the film is seven years old, but that hasn’t stopped it from blowing fans away.
