Like a lot of people, I thought I knew what to expect from war movies. So when "Fury" first hit theaters in 2014, I wrote it off as just another addition to an already-crowded genre. But I went to see it anyway, and when I left the theater absolutely dazzled by what I saw.
"Fury" is a brutal, unflinching look at the final days of World War II, but it’s also something more intimate. It’s a story about five men stuck in a steel coffin of a tank, each worn down by violence, each clinging to whatever scrap of humanity they have left. It’s tense, emotionally raw, and remarkably grounded, with performances that have stuck with me ever since I went to see the movie over a decade ago.
