Don 'Wardaddy' Collier, (Brad Pitt) and his crew are tooling about in the thick of World War II, and jaded to the brutal deaths of war and its many other spoils.
A young virgin war soul, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) whose geared for typing, and not a minister of death awaiting heavy combat is thrust into the fury of war. Ellison is suddenly faced with the dilemma of shutting off his feelings and embracing the callus realities of combat and maybe become another brain washed mutant of government manipulation. Wardaddy makes it clear to him that the enemy must be killed at all cost.
"I don't care if it's a baby (German soldier) with a butter knife, you kill him," Wadaddy said to Ellison.
Pitt and his cast of battled tested titans, excluding Ellison are very good and calculating when comes to full filling there combat missions. The story takes an interesting turn when the 'Fury' group and other American soldiers take over a German town and Ellison meets a gorgeous German woman, Emma played by Alicia von Rittberg and we viewers are suddenly caught up in an intense moment wondering if the two young hearts will unite after the war, or maybe she'll just be gang raped and killed by numerous other soldiers.
The stage for graphic war violence is set for the conclusion when the Fury crew is faced with fighting hundreds of German soldiers by themselves or fleeing from combat completely and having a much higher percent for a survival rate.
A solid three stars for the January 27 DVD release of "Fury." The movie did not glorify war and the poignant realities of war were brilliantly illustrated and the ending was not predictable.
