'Fury': Das Tank

Posted by Billy Wonka on October 17, 2014 at 15:10:41:
A somber back drop because there are no sunny days for our crew. Heavy overcast, fog, the smoke of battle, or nighttime obscures our protagonists from the warmth of the sun. Soon we also feel the grit and gloom they live with day in and out. This film is far darker than the trailers would let on. It is the story of a hardened crew receiving a requisite wuss (SPR) and the accounts of his experiences as he becomes one and the same as them.

This film successfully convey intensity and tension on demand as they scuffle, drink, fight, and do what it takes to survive. I felt myself tighten up during a Tiger tank duel which was choreographed unlike what I have seen before. A lot of research went into this on the fine points.

Pena described this film as a series of character studies with action thrown in. That is a fair assessment and in no way a negative one even for the most hardened action freak. We see five distinct, strong personalities interacting with each other and pull as a team when it counts. The script and direction was top notch not to mention the action sequences. I'm not sure if the Academy will let this one slide or shower it with nominations. (It is close to nomination season.)

If you are a Boomer you are, by default, a WW2 guy who will want to see this for the experience. This is on a tighter scale than SPR but far more intense and realistic. There aren't a lot of yucks and no sunny days.
