Fury

This week I'm going to review the WWII war film, Fury. I have to start by saying I haven't seen such a great war film since The Hurt Locker. The film is about a group of men who run a tank during the final days of WWII.

When one of their men is killed they are assigned a new member who has never been in battle before. We follow his journey, and how war changes a person no matter how good your morals are. I really enjoyed this film for a few reasons. The first is the acting; everyone does an excellent job that I won't be surprised if there a few Oscar noms, especially for Brad Pitt and Logan Lerman.

The next reason is because of the battle sequences. The tank battles in this film are beyond amazing, and I have never seen anything quite like it before. Here is a clip from the film of one of the battle sequences. The clip is shortened, but you still see how well these scenes were done.

The third and final reason is the directing of this film. Fury was directed by David Ayer, and he did such an amazing job. He also directed another great film known as End of Watch. David knows how to make a great action movie, and he knows how to get the best out of his actors. I don't talk about the Director too much, but he did such a great job that I can't wait to see what he comes out with next.

As I mentioned earlier the film stars: Brad Pitt, who has been in films like Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Logan Lerman, who has been in films like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Stuck in Love, Shia LaBeouf, who has been in films like The Greatest Game Ever Played and Lawless, Michael Pena, who has been in films like Shooter and End of Watch, and finally Jon Bernthal, who was in the TV series The Walking Dead.

In the end, Fury is a great war film that shows how war isn't pretty, and it changes you. I would never want to be in a war, nor do I have the courage our men and women have who serve our country. After watching this, and every accurate war movie or miniseries I'm grateful for all who serve this Great Nation we live in. This film is rated R for a reason, but if you can handle the violence and gore my rating is that you should see this as soon as you can. It is worth it to see it in the theatres, and if you can I strongly recommend the big screen because it is that much better.

Please comment and let me know what you think of Fury. If there is anything you want me to review leave a comment, and I'll add it to my list.
