Hell or High Water was very good though!

To each their own, but I think Hell or High Water was way better than Mel Gibson's latest Sunday school lesson.

Sunday school session? The main character is a Mormon, Gibson's a Catholic. They had to show his faith because he was a very religious man, it would've been disingenuous to portray him as an atheist when he wasn't. You're just clearly biased.

Hacksaw Ridge was bleh. Underwhelming regurgitated crap. Hell or High water was better, but it wasn't exactly a classic.

Completely different movies.

Apples and oranges.

A meaningless comparison.

Agree. One film is about a conscientious objector who nonetheless serves his country, (very gallantly I might add) and the other is about a pair of bank-robbing brothers.

As I understand it the character in the Gibson film was Seventh-Day Adventist, not Mormon.
