Andrew Garfield plays Desmond Doss – a man so patriotic he wants to go to war without a gun (or, to use his own term, as a ‘conscientious co-operator’). Garfield gives Doss almost Forrest Gump levels of naivety, and the first act is so wholesome you almost expect them to break into song at any moment – with only an abusive, alcoholic father even hinting at any darkness. Even Desmond’s time in boot camp is like a pre-watershed version of Full Metal Jacket, with Vince Vaughn’s drill sergeant more funny than frightening.
