The Devil watches ois own

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2018)

"Fury" was the name of the tank featured in the film commanded by Sgt. Don 'Wardaddy' Collier (Brad Pitt). He has a southern accent at times, is a Jew, a cynical philosopher, speaks fluent German, and hates the SS with a passion. He has no trouble killing SS POWs. He says, "Ideas are peaceful. History is violent."
He commands a diverse group. There is Animal (Jon Bernthal) an Hispanic (Michael Peña) and a born again (Shia LaBeouf) . Norman (Logan Lerman) i.e. "normal" joins this group as a green soldier who is reluctant to kill. Collier must transfer the meek soldier into a killing machine and rather quickly through whatever unorthodox method as necessary.
The group is doing mop up work at the end of the war with 1,000's of Germans surrendering, yet they still meet the occasional sniper and pockets of resistance.
The film lets you know that war and Jesus don't mix. In the opening scene Pitt rides in on a horse and I couldn't help but think, "WOW! Joey really is a tough "War Horse." The film has action, drama, theme, and bit of humor. It was well acted and written, even if the history behind it isn't 100% accurate. No one looking for paintings or a private.
Parental Guide: Plenty of swearing. Implied sex. No nudity.
