Fury is what it left me with

Rating: 2/10 (31 January 2015)

This film is such a gratuitous mess that tragically fails to let a great cast of actors shine.
It's a shame to see that the same man who wrote Training Day was at the helm of this, and an even greater shame to see how after having 17 years of Saving Private Ryan...that this kind of movie actually makes it to the big screen and gets rave reviews.
I don't think this is just a conflict of differing tastes either. I love myself a gritty, hyper-realistic war story...but this movie is only posing as such. It is pretty objective as to how ridiculously dull and stupid the narrative is, as well as how cheap and shallow the character development is. It's not only a failure just as a war film, but also as a film in general.
The effects are nice at times though, and there is a bit of shock value, but nothing more.
