            It’s been a while since Mel Gibson has stepped behind the camera and captivated audiences. The man behind the films Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto has finally released the first trailer for his upcoming war drama, Hacksaw Ridge.

            The biographical movie follows the story of a WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss (played by Andrew Garfield), who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people and becomes the first Conscientious Objector in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Heavy stuff for a guy who is known by major audiences as the most recent attempt at Spider-Man before Marvel Studios got their hands back on the property.

            This won’t be the first film for Garfield though that could be a potential Oscar-type of role. He was fantastic in The Social Network as well as last year’s 99 Homes. Hacksaw Ridge is set to be released in theaters on November 6^th. The film also stars Teresa Palmer, Sam Worthington, Vince Vaughn and Hugo Weaving and is directed by Academy Award winner, Mel Gibson.

            I absolutely loved how gritty this trailer was, check it out below!
