War is hell and Fury shows it

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2014)

I once served in an Armoured Regiment and found a tank claustrophobic, but the comradrie and team spirit second to none and so I found that to a degree in Fury - I was so fortunate not to go to war, but I would bet that it was very much as this film depicts, the closest I think you can get to what it must have felt like to come up against a German Tiger tank- There is a lot to admire about this film , yes there are some aspects that may not feel believable and some things that are cliché - but having seen it and been dead sceptical at first- I was shocked and still feel numb as it is the first time I have watched a war film of this genre and felt- Yes that is what would have happened; there was no sentiment for the Nazis and on reflection I imagine having fought through battles watching comrades die and the Nazis still not giving in that you would hate them and let them know it - The cast were magnificent, there wont be any Oscars as there are no niceties but each played their role convincingly Pitt plays a leader who wont give up and those that follow remind me of when I served - I would have followed my Tank Sergeant to certain death even if I knew deep down it may be the last time on earth and the remaining cast displayed exactly that ethos
