Review of The Fury (1978) by Kevin R — 06 Jun 2014

The whole world is dried up at the tit.

A government agent with two children with special psychic abilities is on the constant run from European government officials who want to kidnap them for government experiments. He tries to remain in hiding; but one unfortunate day, his son is kidnapped. He tries to keep his daughter hidden while looking for his son, but his daughter's powers begin to become apparent. She escapes her situation and goes looking for her dad. If they find each other, maybe they can save the son before it is too late.

"I'll be with you all the way; and if it doesn't workout, we'll go someplace else.".

Brian De Palma, director of Scarface, The Untouchables, Mission: Impossible, Carlito's Way, Snake Eyes, Mission to Mars, Carrie, and The Black Dahlia, delivers The Fury. The storyline for this picture is actually more unique than I anticipated and was fairly intense in a Carrie/science fiction way. The acting was very good and I enjoyed the action sequences. The cast includes Kirk Douglas, John Cassavetes, Carrie Snodgress, Amy Irving, Charles Durning, and William Finley.

"You gotta give me the dame's number from the antique shop. There's nothing antique about her.".

The Fury was a movie I came across on Cinemax and thought sounded interesting and contained a fairly decent cast. The movie was a bit uneven with some aspects that worked better than others; however, the movie came together well and I enjoyed the overall premise of the film. I do recommend seeing this picture at least once.

"Which one are you going to screw first?".

Grade: B+.
