30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2016 - Ranked

Release Date: November 4th

Billed As: The true life story of a conscientious objector and pacifist who went to war and won the Medal Of Honour for saving more than 80 wounded men during a notorious campaign. Without a weapon.

Hype: Mel Gibson is a great director, for all of his very public problems, and in the story of Desmond Doss he has a narrative goldmine.

Not only does the story allow for the typical spectacle of war, it also offers the scope for engagement with a pacifist message and a humanist one. The cast too looks well balanced, with Andrew Garfield offering his likeable charisma to the lead role and the likes of Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving and Sam Worthington supporting.

The trailer looks phenomenal (even if there seems to be a very liberal sprinkle of sugar), and it's an important message to explore in the current military and political context.
