Fury - Review (2014)

I watched this movie on midnight show last Saturday. I'm very curious about this movie. Brad Pitt in colaboration with David Ayer and those young Hollywood stars. Even though there have been tons of films that told the story of world war 2 in different ways. However this was the first one in my opinion that captured the brutality of war bad showing how it effects not used to dealing with the first hand experience that comes with the violence of war.

The acting here is great from everyone. I think that the standout of the entire cat is Brad Pitt. He gives a very strong performance and his character is very commanding and is one of those characters who never gives up. Logan Lerman also does a great job playing Norman and his character is one that doesn't want to kill people, but he does it, because it is necessary. Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, Jason Issacs, and Scott Eastwood all deliver great performances as well. Even Shia Labouf is great in this film. The cast also share some great chemistry between each other.



The storyline was not complex, it didn't have to be. Fury was a well written, very well acted, war movie. I really appreciated that Sony Pictures Entertainment avoided a lot of the normal war movie clichés. Also, the violence was rugged and may have been enough to make some viewers queasy at times. But, it was not gloriously forced in your face like as in Inglorious Bastards or Saving Private Ryan.

The acting and the chemistry is on top of this movie. I don't think the story is boring. but if they don't have Brad Pitt, Logan, and even Shia. i don't think it will be this epic.

Overall, Fury remains as a well-made WWII movie and all the usual acts and clichés associate with this genre. With its simple story-line, brutal action sequences, and a good cast to boot, this latest offing by David Ayer is another great hit in his directing career. It may not be the best war movie ever, but it is still worth checking out nonetheless.

My verdict : 8/10
IMDB : 8.4/10
Metacritics : 63%
Rotten Tomatoes : 81%
