I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I have watched this 2 years after its release. This movie is worth watching on big screen.War movie and being a biography is the best combination.Doss is the best soldier, I have ever seen.Highly recommended.
...Stunning in so many rights, but unnecessarily historically inaccurate in many others. While not a documentary, any film which takes on the mantle of re-creating a true story on screen (especially one about war) should, in my opinion, feel compelled to pay attention to detail. Some brief research online suggests this wasn't the case. I also think one-sided war films are a dangerous way to stir nationalistic views to modern audiences. I'd have much preferred to see both sides tales somewhat represented. In saying this, the very fact that this memorable film brings the story of one man's conviction in his faith leading to him saving 75 lives, deserves immense respect.
This is an excellent film. It kept me thrilled all the way throughout.
Saving 75 Lives out there on the war field is nothing less than a miracle.Another brilliant biopic of 2016.Desmond Doss had a belief of non violence and he sticks to it even after getting into the US army, serving for the nation. Its no less than a heroic tale of an Army Man who refused to kill on the war field and instead chose to save. Desmond has a troubled childhood getting beaten by his father every day and his father was an ex army drunkard who used to beat his sons and wife. Desmond decides to join Army and serve his nation being a medic. He is bullied and beaten in the Army by other men but he doesn't give up...shows courage and tenaciously stays
