David Ayer, lazily unoriginal...

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2015)

This was a film that on paper genuinely excited me as a fan of war films for their port rial of humanity in adverse circumstances. Then I watched Fury...
Obviously off the back of the heels of Brad Pitts great success a few years back with Inglorious Bastards, David Ayer clearly thought Brad Pitt excelled in this role so snapped him up for his war film. There was the first act of laziness essentially the man from this point forward has signed up to attempting to make a film about "coming of age" during World War 2 centered around Logan Lermans' character to throw us off the scent of any "Ingloriousisms".
I therefore did not attempt to watch this film in the same way David Ayer did not attempt to write this film. The cast were impeccable but when the man at the helm clearly just writes a film every few years to remain in Hollywood what can you do to save that?
