Fury
This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes roll into WWII with "Fury" (2014), David Ayer’s gritty tank drama starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, and Jon Bernthal.
Mike Butler came into this rewatch with a new perspective, after not liking the film too much on his first viewing. He found a lot more to appreciate this time around, especially in a tense, uncomfortable dinner scene that he gushes about in the episode. Both he and Mike Field agree that the performances are excellent across the board, giving weight to the film’s depiction of life and death inside a WWII Sherman tank.
That said, the Mikes still have issues with some of the logic gaps in the climactic battle, and they can’t ignore the stories of how the set was run behind the scenes. Still, "Fury" remains a gripping war film that offers intensity, strong character work, and a perspective on WWII worth revisiting.
