April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Before I get started with this review, I’m as much of a fan of the coming attractions as the next person but a small message to Hoyts cinemas, I think you might be pushing things a little too much with twenty minutes.

Fury seemed to be a lot more brutal, dirty and grimy then most of the World War 2 movies that I can remember watching in recent years. I’ve noticed that with a lot of the war movies that I have watched that there seems certain cleanness approach not only to the actors but also the scenery. I did not realise until I looked into his filmography but I am pretty sure that I have watched 4 out of the 5 movies that David Ayer has directed. Ayer has some range to his abilities as a director and some real talent with the different incarnations of an action movie.
Fury is a little different to other World War 2 movies because it is a tank movie. Now if you are going into the cinema looking for loud explosions that will seem to shake the seat that you’re sitting in when you’re in the extreme screen. You’ll get that, but you might find yourself a little emotionally detached from the violence, but in the same breath you might find yourself admiring the crews of Sherman tanks because of the position that they were in and how they had to became families to get the job done and how difficult it would have been for somebody to enter one of those families.
