Pitt Is Great In This War Film

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2016)

Brad Pitt stars in this war movie entitled Fury which tells the story of a group of American soldiers that were stationed at Nazi Germany during the final days of World War II. Logan Lerman,Shia LaBeouf,Michael Peña,Jon Bernthal,Jason Isaacs and Scott Eastwood joins Pitt in this film written and directed by David Ayers.
The setting of the screenplay was April of 1945.The Allies are going to make their final push in the European Theater. Don "Wardaddy" Collier and his crew of soldiers that includes gunner Boyd "Bible" Swan; loader Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis; and driver Trini "Gordo" Garcia are sent on a deadly mission behind enemy lines.Joining them is Norman Ellison, a raw recruit trained as a typist, who find himself encased in the tank as an assistant driver.Facing overwhelming odds such as being outnumbered and outgunned,Wardaddy and his men make an effort to strike against the Nazis.
We get to see a great performance from Brad Pitt.No question about that.His character with a mixture of a passion for killing Nazi soldiers and showing lots of humanity is fun and to watch.As for the story,there is definitely a lot of tension and violence especially with Wardaddy and his men pursuit of their mission facing a lot of odds.But it somehow fell short of becoming a great movie as there is nothing really new in the story and the facts presented in it are already known to many who have taken History in High School.It would have been better if we have learned something new about World War II from it.
