In April 1945, the Allies are making their final push in the European theater. A battle-hardened Army sergeant named Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt), leading a Sherman tank and a five-man crew, undertakes a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Hopelessly outnumbered, outgunned and saddled with an inexperienced soldier (Logan Lerman) in their midst, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds as they move to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Production began in early September 2013, in Hertfordshire, England, followed by principal photography on September 30, 2013, in Oxfordshire. Filming continued for a month-and-a-half at different locations, which included the city of Oxford, and concluded on November 13. Fury was released on October 17, 2014, received positive reviews, and grossed $211 million worldwide.

Let it be known first off when you watch this movie you need to keep in mind that not all war movies are the same and the focus of the movie depends on who made the movie, how it was made and who is watching it? This film is about bonding and camaraderie? Highlighting strained relationships in very stressful and violent situations. War is ugly and this movie does not miss that point by any stretch of the imagination.

Fury pits a tank filled with five American soldiers at the tail end of World War II as they struggle to fight off a small army of Nazi soldiers that are closing in on them. David Ayer directs this brutal and grim war film with no romance to it. The film is grim, bloody and unrelenting and fully captures the absolutely horrific nature of war. If you are a fan of war films you will absolutely love this one.

Fury is a brutal war film that shows war exactly how it should be shown. Its disturbing, its violent, its scary. You are subjected to every bullet wound, every explosion of sharp shrapnel, every wound with the utmost visceral imagery.

It really hits a home run between the sweeping cinematography, the phenomenal performances and the near perfect direction, it is one hell of a film that shouldn't be missed.
