HACKSAW RIDGE
Garfield plays a real life WWII soldier, Desmond T. Doss, who became famous for being the first soldier to go to battle without using any weapons in the upcoming film Hacksaw Ridge. Doss saved many American lives in the Battle of Okinawa and Garfield carries the film on his shoulders (no pun intended), even among an outstanding cast that includes Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving and Sam Worthington. Garfield is courageous and heroic in his portrayal of Doss, nailing his purity and genuine essence. This film could easily be a Best Picture nominee, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Garfield also received consideration for an Oscar.
Garfield just keeps getting better. His unfortunate Spider-Man outcome might have been a blessing, since he seemed to delve back into doing meaningful films with rich characters where he can turn out powerful performances. The sky is the limit for Garfield at this point.
