"Fury" a tough World War II movie with Brad Pitt
nu sam
"Fury"is the name of a Sherman tank and a movie about its crew. Most war movies are sentimental and wildly patriotic; "Fury" simply tells the story of the tank and its five crew members in the April before Germany surrendered
Amazingly, director David Ayer largely eschewed the use of computer generated images, so wildly overused in most action films. Thus, no great blasts, just the kind one would expect in a war.
The cast is uniformly solid, with Pitt a rock as commander of Fury. Crew includes Shia LaBeouf. Michael Pena, Jon Bernthal, Scott Eastwood and newcomer Logan Leman.
A significant part of the movie is the toughening up of typist Leman by Pitt. Leman is forced so shoot a captured German soldat to "toughen him up."
Major scene is the conflict between four American Sherman tanks and one German Tiger tank, which outclasses the Americans. Three of the tanks are destroyed with Fury left to face the Tiger.
Pitt is excellent as staff sergeant tank commander and his crew matches his acting. Direction is agile and clear, no mysteries here, just bodies and mud and death all around.
They don't make a lot of movies like this one as the major target audience for films these days are young adults. But they could benefit by seeing this one.
