Fury is set during the last few days of the Second Great War. Allied forces are closing-in on Germany and it seems only a matter of time when the curtains falls on the European theater of the war. But, "War never ends quietly". German forces put in last ditch effort to block the advancing allied forces.
Fury tells the story of US Army Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) who commands a Sherman tank named Fury and its five-man. The crew includes a recently enlisted Army typist Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) . Norman has never before experienced the battle front and is shaken by the horrors of war. Sergeant Don has a task at hand : To protect his tank and men. Inexperienced and horrified Norman seems to be more of an liability than help to the cause. Don forces Norman to accept the realities of war and kill to survive. However, gradually bond between the two strengthens. Meanwhile, Fury the tank hits a landmine and is left immobile. Before the tank could be repaired, a German SS infantry column is found to be approaching. The crew is left with the option to flee the tank. But will they abandon Fury, their home?
Director David Ayer has been quite effective in capturing various human emotions of fear, anger, horror, love, pride, glory and sense of duty. The movie is nicely paced and the war sequences are wonderfully filmed. It can certainly not be compared with the like of "Saving Private Ryan", but there are enough compelling reasons which make it a must-watch.
My Rating : 3.75 / 5
