impressively solid

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2015)

One of the best war movies ever, a masterpiece close to the levels of Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, as far as I can see. Fury has the admirable ambition and achievement of showing how even the Greatest Generation could brutalize and be brutalized by war. Brad Pitt, you'll recall, already won World War II in Inglourious Bastards, well over here he's perfect as well, along with the rest of the cast. The story is intense and suspenseful with strong performances and has also an unsentimental approach as to show the dehumanizing side of war in its raw, the unflinching details and what makes us humans, like the bravery and mercy found in people in the worst of circumstances.
