Movie: Fury
Cast: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman
Director: David Ayer
Review: As an eternal fan of Brad Pitt and War movies, I had to see this movie.
So there I was sitting in a dark theater to witness the saga of bravery and courage of five men, destined to work together to complete the mission assigned to them. The story takes you to midst of war-torn Germany where Allies have gained ground and are pushing back Germans to win and end the war.
There a warhorse army sergeant nick-named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a soldier who was a typist, Wardaddy, his men and their tank named FURY, which had become their home, face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to survive another day to kill the enemy.
The flow of the story is quite smooth and there rarely is a dull moment. The cinematography, look and feel of this movie is similar to other Hollywood war classics. From the scene where Wardaddy cries quietly for dead soldiers after putting a brave face in front of others to the one where he pushes the young typist to shoot an enemy soldier to the one where he treats enemy women fairly, director David Ayer has been quite successful in depicting the horrors of the war and how such a bloody, senseless and prolonged conflict can negatively affect the psyche of the soldiers and civilians alike.
The movie draws to an end with Brad Pitt as Wardaddy emerging as a leader who leads by example and decides to face one of the deadliest platoons of Nazi Army (Not detailing much to save you from Spoilers).
This is one of the brilliant war movies I have seen and Brad Pitt, although has played much demanding roles, has performed in this role brilliantly. Also Shia LeBeouf , Logan Lerman and other cast members have performed in their roles brilliantly.
An inspirational and courageous story of men who shout “Best Job I’ve ever had.” when they see a swarm of enemy men approaching, filled with brilliant performances by Brad Pitt and other cast members, FURY is a great watch indeed.
Excellence Meter-- 3.5/5- A good watch.
Cheers..
