Oscar-worthy. Straight up.

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2014)

-Fury is the WWII film about an American tank crew, led by Brad Bitt, fighting in Germany. The film follows the crew through a series of encounters that lead them to a broken tank and the choice to stay or run.
-Fury was great. There are some downsides, so keep reading. However I think it is the best war film since Black Hawk Down! -The story was really good and it had a lot to offer in the way of grisly realism of war, as well as some more optimistic themes attached. The tone was heavy because war. The pace was better during the second half. In fact the film was a little 'eh' until about half way through, then it was fantastic.
-The acting was on point. Brad Pitt was great. Percy Jackson was really great! And, to my great surprise, Shia LaBeouf was my favorite character! By the way, his character, called "Bible," is a prime example of a well-done faith-based character in a non-Christian film! -The music was really good. Oscar nod incoming.
-The cinematography was really good. Oscar win incoming.
-There are some downsides and I will put them all under content.
-Content: The film features some brutal war violence. It did not shy away from much of anything and even had a few (like 2) scenes where I questioned if that was needed or not. Also the film had strong language in it. It got a little bit better after the first half, but it was really bad.
-So in all, Fury is a well-acted, well-made, entertaining war movie that is just great! It also featured the best tank fight in maybe ever. However, if you can't tolerate war violence and excess language, this is not the film for you. For those who can, I would say Fury is easily worth seeing in theaters! Solid 8/10.
