I understand that it is really good. It is on my list to watch

Definitely worth the watch. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen the movie.

"God, let me get just one more" Amen! I watched it again a few days ago and I have it recorded so I can watch it and be humbled. That Man was and is true hero that stood firm in his belief! The exact opposite of Jeffo.

It takes an amazing person to be a combat medic who fully knows they will see combat. It takes an extraodinary person to do that job unarmed. I'm not sure I would have survived combat if I wasn't armed.
Great movie!

watch the movie several times until I watched it the first time I would never have pictured Vince Vaughn in a serious role such as that..

A man of conviction, humble and brave. The after movie commentary was outstanding.

Watch the movie, then read up on what he really did. The movie just scratches the surface.

He was very brave, the movie I think is a mix of actually two island campaigns into one. In other words they knew he was brave before the big climax on that island campaign with Hacksaw ridge.

Watched last night based on seeing this thread yesterday. VG movie, my wife even liked it in spite of the graphic war scenes.
