The First Act needed improvement. The Other Two Acts are pretty good!

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2014)

"Fury" tells the story of a World War II Tank Crew, behind enemy lines in April 1945, as the Allies make a final push into Nazi Germany. Brad Pitt plays Don "Wardaddy" Collier, the Commander of the crew. Among the rest of are Shia LaBeouf, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, and in a Permance worthy of consideration for an Oscar Nomination for Best Supporting Actor - Logan Lerman as "Norman Ellison", a typist, enlisted as a replacement for a deceased member of the Tank Crew. Pitt and Bernthal's characters particularly show the effects of war – You have mixed emotions about them as the film progresses, as they both do things to Lerman's character that make you despise them, and then later on their actions do make you pull for them. Peña and LaBeouf are pretty likable, and again Lerman's does well as a man forced into a being a soldier, in this rag tag crew, again, where some are morally questionable. The characters do come out stereotypical at times in terms of past performances of soldiers on screen, and pretty much nothing is given on their backgrounds before the war. The first act needed improvement, but the other two acts are good with some powerful scenes. Worth Seeing – 3 1/4 out of 4 Stars
