What Was The Last Movie You Saw...

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Fury.  5.5/10

No way could you last 3 years in one of those unless you were hiding behind everybody else.  Anyway, we follow our intrepid gang of assorted psychos, evangelists and patriotic minority Americans (token).  And, lo & behold, Pitt and his lads get fucked as soon as they're sent in on a special mission.  But not because they have a teflon tank and an attitude to match, but rather, because Brad hates the SS.  

See that last stand, when he was up on the tank rattling away on the 37mm machine gun, silhouetted by the raging fires and multi-coloured tracer, I swear I had to slap my loins.

You know that the story of Fury is an amalgamation of true stories from various tank crews during the Normandy invasion? There was one tank in particular that lasted the entire war and knocked out something like 258 enemy tanks, so it's not complete fantasy. It's actually relatively historically accurate, as far as these things go.

I think any film in which Shia LeBouef isn't completely intolerable has to be some kind of qualified success, and this, along with Lawless, is about the only film that's managed it.

Have to agree with Morph, it was ok. Not amazing, but it was well worth a watch. A bit too grisly without enough to say, which made it come across as gratuitous, but by the same token I can't criticise a war film for showing a realistic depiction of the horrors of war.
