Review of Fury (2014) by Spangle — 17 Jul 2015
Fury is a film that incredibly brutal and intense at times, but manages to be a stirring and emotional war film throughout due to its focus on brotherhood and the friendships formed during war times. The direction from David Ayer was great here and the war/action sequences were expertly put together.
Ayer has a knack for some real great action sequences and Fury is no exception to that. Brad Pitt, Shia Labeouf, Michael Pena, and especially Logan Lerman, were all stellar in their respective roles. The costume design and makeup in the film were also very great as these men look the part and look war battered.
However, where Fury is the most successful is in the realism. Incredibly faithful to reality, the film feels authentic, especially when it comes to the blood and gore of war. As a whole, Fury is no Saving Private Ryan, but is definitely the best war film in a while and stands as a very good film in what was a great year for film in 2014.
