GenerationofSwine: I don't want to say that I dislike Mel Gibson as an actor, I mean he's been in plenty of movies that I love… but like Clint Eastwood, he makes a FAR better director than he ever made an actor.

CinemaSerf: Andrew Garfield turns in a strong performance here as a true-life conscientious objector during WWII who refused to bear arms but who was equally determined to play his part as an army medic.
