Day 51 continued - Fury (American)

Fury (2014) Poster




"April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened Army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany"

A realistic war film that will leave you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed almost all of this movie though there are a few plot points I wished were filled. Brad Pitt did a remarkable job as the leader of this crew and his performance was award worthy. He had a lot of help from a good supporting cast like Shia LaBeouf, Michael Pena, Jon Bernthal, and Logan Lerman. This is an American movie but it doesn't pull any punches about the cruel reality of war. Its a cold brutal act which should be perceived as that and this movie does just that. The direction needed some work but it is still an amazing movie to watch.


4/5
