Ayer ditches his hand held method for still shots and dolly rigs and it pays off ten fold. The film on a technical level is terrific. ![]() These men truly feel as if they are brothers in arms and you buy into every second of it. Ayer has an extremely keen eye for chemistry on screen and he directs each of these actors to deliver performances that are well beyond anything that could be scripted. Each of these actors, especially LaBeouf, give their all in roles that are merely supporting on paper. Followed by his brigade of miserable men played by the likes of Michael Peña, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman and Jon Bernthal, Fury depicts not only the atrocities of war but the ideology of brotherhood with this film. So much so that it is all the character knows. Aldo Raine in Inglorious Basterds, he is a man who is truly run ragged by this war. Ayer's film is grim, bloody and unrelenting and fully captures the absolutely horrific nature of war. David Ayer directs this brutal and grim war film with no romance to it. It's one unvarnished view of World War 2's final days.įury pits a tank filled with five American soldiers at the tail end of World War II as they struggle to fight off a small army of Nazi soldiers that are closing in on them. The battle special effects are first rate. Both are incredibly good and incredibly dynamic. There might be an Oscar in the offing for Pitt and Lerman. But heroism sometimes can just be a case of\ opportunity. Pitt and his soldiers are not from Hollywood World War II era films. In the end Pitt gets what could be a last stand mission, hold a vital checkpoint crossroads to prevent a Nazi counterattack.

While the Russians were facing a desperate resistance from the German Army because Germans in general knew what to expect from the avenging Russian bear, the western front had everyone surrendering or trying to cut deals for themselves. These were the last bitter days of the war when what was on the west were kids and die-hard S. Russians to the east, Americans, British, Canadians and assorted other allies invading the Third Reich that was supposed to last for a thousand years. Still there is more to like than dislike, so settling on a 7 rating.įury has Brad Pitt starring as a battle hardened tank commander in those last days before VE Day. My 10 year old boy stated the pure obvious.! "Why the hell did they not fire the boxes of 'Panzerfausts' they had at hand!" I'm sure everyone apart from the Director, was thinking the very same absurdity. The SS committed beastly war crimes (true) but they were also crack combat troopers. It's highly unlikely that they would have been there at the end of the war (singing along a road). How do 100's of Waffen SS soldiers fail to beat a a severely crippled tank. All of a sudden 'Fury' turns into Star Wars but way less believable. The ending is the most fantastical war scene I ever seen. One Tiger knocked out 50 T-34's on the Eastern Front. The ratio of Tiger to Sherman K.O's is 14 to 1. Obviously in real warfare it would have smashed those American tanks to a zillion pieces. ![]() The one that is used in this movie (the only working one in the World), is Tiger 131 (housed at Bovington Tank Museum).
