Fury-iously Good

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2014)

Fury comes out as a pretty believable military film. Set at the end of WW2, one crew has been together for a majority of the war and we see how they interact, their bonds, their angst, their struggles, and their humanity. Intermingled with those things are quite a few tank battle scenes, which although may not be perfectly believable, they are pretty entertaining for the most part. A rookie soldier is assigned to the Fury after the crew gets back from their latest mission where they lose a soldier. The rookie not only is new to the war, but does not have combat or tank experience, and has no intention of following some of his soldier's orders or doing what it takes. As the drama unfolds, the sergeant's, the rookies, and the rest of the crews humanity and and character development are evident. The depictions of what they soldiers have been through together and have endured are evident in their conversation and on their faces. Although not necessarily and uplifting journey, this is one that is worth taking and checking out.
