Fury

"War is hell. And according to Fury it’s also really, really muddy. We’re talking Glastonbury levels of mud, though this version of World War 2 seems absent of any chavvy Englishmen. To be fair, that’s not too surprising, given director David Ayer’s tight focus on the American crew of the titular Sherman tank as it advances into Germany in the final year of the war."

"Pitt plays a watered-down version of his 'Inglourious Basterds' character in this disappointingly bland look at a World War II tank crew."

"Loud, intense, violent, relentless, Fury doesn't stop until the credits roll, thanks to Ayer's cracking direction and a committed cast. The best WW2 movie in some time."

"Brad Pitt pulls along this gutsy, old-fashioned World War II epic by the sheer brute force of his charisma."

"Within this gore-spattered, superficially nihilistic carapace is an old-fashioned platoon picture, a sensitive and superbly acted tale of male bonding under duress."

"Fury is a punchy, muscular action film, confidently put together and never anything other than watchable."

"Lives up to its title with its great ferocity, but at a certain point, it begins to feel like a macho fantasy."

"A good, solid World War II movie, nothing more and nothing less."

"A persuasive, warts-and-bolts depiction of warfare from the guts of a tank yoked to an overwrought, sub-Private Ryan account of innocence under fire - so a hit and a miss."
