FURY (2014) mini-review

So FURY. Big, big thumbs up.

I was kind of apprehensive at first to sit through it (the first trailer was cool, but subsequent ads didn’t really hit the spot). But holy crap, two sequences had me on the edge of my seat. And any film where Shia LaBeouf makes you go “holy shit, that kid’s damned good” is worth its weight in gold.

In fact, everyone in this flick is top notch. And like I say, those two sequences: one an action scene involving three Shermans and one Tiger; the other is the most nerve-wracking meal scene since Marilyn Burns was invited to the dinner table in “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.  Great stuff.
