Fury follows the story of an American WWII tank crew in Germany. During the few days in which the movie takes place, the veteran tank crew loses a key member of their group and a complete rookie replaces him. Throughout the movie you see the hardening of a man by war.
To get down to it, Fury is very entertaining, realistic, gruesome, and well acted. This movie can really be divided into two parts: when the tank crew are fighting; and when they are bonding. It may be tough love a lot of the time, but the camaraderie is palpable and interesting to watch. Just the same, the action and war depictions in Fury are brutal and fast-paced.
I'm not sure if I'm alone on this or not, but didn't the gunfights in Fury look like something out of Star Wars? Maybe it was because I saw Fury on a huge screen, but it had big, super vivid tracers on a lot of the bullets. If this really was an artistic choice, then I commend whoever is responsible. The almost sci-fi looking beams of light added something out of the ordinary in WWII films. Definitely check Fury out.
