War is Hell

Rating: 7/10 (17 October 2014)

Though it can't seem to avoid dusting off nearly every war movie clichÃ© imaginable, 'Fury' is well made, well acted and features some of the most white-knuckle battle action ever captured on film.
The still somehow underrated Brad Pitt commands the screen just as his character Wardaddy commands his men. It would've been easy for Pitt to simply give in to caricature here, but he's become much too fine an actor for that. The rest of his men are more than equal to the task of overcoming their stock characters, particularly star in the making Logan Lerman.
'Fury' is no flag-waver, yet it also never strays into the realm of moral relativism that typically plagues modern war films. Instead any message fittingly gets lost in the haze of battle.
