Fury is written and directed by David Ayer and stars Brad Pitt as the leader of a tank crew in World War II, were going against other German tanks, which is depicted in this movie by no means an easy job. Its hard, its brutal, it’s a really tough life to live.
Logan Lerman plays a clerk that was pushed into his position because they simply did not have any other soldier to be there. This movie is about how Brat Pitt trains Logan Lerman and about he has to learn to be someone he is not.
David Ayer is a very good director and writer, but he has made some not so great movies in the past, this year is Sabotage (2014). This movie definitely makes up for that. This is a hard hitting look at World War II with another great Nazis killing performance by Brad Pitt. He’s not quite full on lieutenant Aldo Raine from Inglourious Basterds (2009) in this movie, but he definitely has some of that in him. He has this gruff, uncompromising composer about himself that really sells for this role. He does a great job.
And Logan Lerman gets possibly the best performance in his career so far –certainly better than Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010). He was excellent in this movie.
You know who else in this movie I have to give a credit? Shia LaBeouf was great in this movie. And I say that because he gets so much public pressed because
of weird things he's been doing. But look, as an actor, he’s doing a really good job in this movie and I have to give him credit for that. Michael Peña and Jon Bernthal also awesome in this movie.
It’s a well shot movie, I was really impressed with the way David Ayer lands this movie, because it wasn't handheld like his previous film. It’s a very locked down, smooth and fluid picture and it all looks really good.
That being said, I didn't really feel that much for the characters in this movie, I didn't feel very attached to them and so when the amazing action sequences were happening, I was just very entertain by the film making and not so much worried for their survival.
By far the biggest thing I can recommend about this movie is the action. Its very well done, its extremely realistic, it does not seem fake at all. And the comradery amongst these guys and the actors performances were so good.
I just didn't really care that much about the characters and I didn't really feel the movie had that much substances behind it. Even though it was trying to reach for a moral religious message especially in the last shot, I didn't really feel that the movie reach that, and I felt that its overstepping.
I would say check this movie out in theater simply for the sound design alone. You’ll really feel like you’re in World War II, and those theater speaker are definitely help with that.
