*****
Set during World War II ‘Fury’ is an intense painful reality of the period gone with atrocities of the warfare exceptionally written and directed by David Ayer.
The European Theatre of World War II [European War], was a vast area of profound fighting across Europe from Germany's invasion. U.S. Army Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier [Brad Pitt] commands an tank named Fury and its five-man veteran crew Boyd "Bible" Swan [Shia LaBeouf], Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis [Jon Bernthal], loader Trini "Gordo" Garcia [Michael Peña] and a driver who is just an Army typist, Norman Ellison [Logan Lerman] and has never even seen the inside of a tank. Wardaddy as a consequence forces the gun on him and makes him execute the German prisoner.
As the mission to capture small town goes on they encounter into a German woman and her beautiful cousin Emma. It becomes a short-lived rendezvous as a German bombardment hits the town, killing Emma and some of the American forces.
They run into a German Tiger I and in the mayhem only Fury remains and is immobilized after thumping into a landmine increasing more trouble as a German column of three hundred SS infantry approaches towards them, Norman is the lone survivor [though he is ignored by a mysterious SS while he notices him hidden below the fury tank] ultimately after the bloodshed the next morning, U.S. Army units discover Norman.
The film shows the solid reality through a journey of a tank ‘Fury’ and its commanders who bravely fight out the odds of the gruesome situation during World War II. It’s realistic and gore in every way giving us the astounding facts which history will never erase from its memory. Strictly for those who need an insight into a world which witnessed the horrors of one mind ‘Hitler’ and carnage which followed.
