Brad Pitt stars as a tank commander in this World War II drama set in 1945 as the allies push into Germany and towards the end of the war. It features some superb acting performances, particularly from Shia Labeouf and Logan Lerman, who I am a huge fan of since seeing him in the Perks of being a wallflower, my favourite film of 2012.
Lerman plays a young fresh recruit, with no experience of war, who desperately struggles to take in the enormity of what is happening, and initially is reluctant to kill the enemy, his journey through the film and realisation of the realities of war make this a superb performance.
That said, Fury is not perfect, it suffers a little from a weak plotline in places, particularly in the first half of the film. But as world war II dramas go, this is a particularly good example, especially the final half an hour 8/10
