Review of Fury (2014) by Walshrd — 02 Dec 2014

Fury is an outstanding movie about the horrors of war and the psychological destruction all-out war brings down on the combatants and civilians that always get caught in the way. There is no other movie that has ever expressed this better and more forcibly.

The entire movie is intense in every respect. The battle scenes are as intense, realistic and unnerving as the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan (the storming of the beach at Normandy on D-day). The in-your-face intensity never lets up thruout the 2+ hr running time.

At movie's end, all viewers will have a much greater understanding as to why soldiers involved in combat will be scarred or adversely affected for the rest of their lives. The tank crew portrayed in the movie had been pounded literally for more than a yr and had fought in most of the major battles as the allies moved across Europe towards Germany after the landing at Normandy.

It's a movie all should see, but some will feel that it is too intense to remain seated thruout. I wouldnt describe this movie as entertaining...it isnt. What it will do is stir you up about the true horrors of war and the monstrous physical and psychological devastation it wreaks.
