Saturday Movie – Fury (2014)

Fury is one of those movies that I was really looking forward to see. And for the most part I really enjoyed it. There are amazing battle scenes and Brad (we are totally on a first name basis) gave his usual strong performance.

What soured Fury and kept it in the good versus amazing category was his supporting cast. I kept thinking of Tropic Thunder and Robert Downey Jr.’s Kirk Lazarus.

Kirk Lazarus: “Everybody knows you never go full retard.”

It felt like the whole supporting cast other than Logan Lerman went full retard. They were supposed to be shell shocked or maybe poorly educated men who had seen some real bad stuff and been forced to do things maybe they didn’t want to remember.  But they come off as slow and sadly unintelligent.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest. I did like the action scenes and it is worth watching this movie just for them.

Fury  could have been great, but instead it is just a good Saturday Movie.
