Mel Gibson Film(s) Analysis In Mel Gibson's recent Hacksaw Ridge, he is shown to have an eye for action and story depth like no other director. In the early stages of the film, it shows the life of Desmond Doss, whom is played by Andrew Garfield. Gibson chooses a very sad entry point to the life of Desmond, showing him getting into a fight and the hardships of family life with an abusive father who had came back from war not long ago.
