Best Job I Ever Had

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2014)

Fantastic! The best war movie we've had since Saving Private Ryan, and hands down the best tank movie we've ever had. One thing I really liked about this movie is that it never really had a story its just a day in the life of these soilders and their tank. Another thing I really liked about this movie is that it is very realistic and gives you a good depiction of World War 2 and how it changed people. The action in this movie was fantastic and very realistic, and this movie has a high body count. David Ayer did a great job at directing this. The best thing about this movie was the acting, Brad Pitt gave a fantastic performance as Don 'Wardaddy' Collier a man who is the leader of his five-man crew. You can tell that Brad Pitt's character has been through a lot in the war and that the war has changed him and that the war has changed his view on everyday life. Some of the scenes with Brad Pitt's character are very intense and Brad Pitt does a great job in this role and I can see him getting an Oscar nomination for this performance. Logan Lerman also puts in a really good performance as Norman Ellison a young man who is new to the war and you can tell that he doesn't really belong there but as the movie goes on you can see his transformation from a frail kid into a 'drinking, killing machine' as they call him in the movie. Shia LeBeouf is also very good in this as Boyd 'Bible Swan, and I am not usually a fan of Shia LeBeouf but he was really good in this movie. Jon Bernthal was also good in this movie as Grady 'Coon-Ass' Travis, and Michael Peña also puts in a good performance as Trini 'Gordo' Garcia. I thought this movie was great and one of the best war movies we've had in a while.
