The Netflix platform is currently hosting a dark war film centered on a small team going on a suicide mission with a tank: “Fury”.
Fury is the fifth film directed by David Ayer just before he starred in the acclaimed DC Comics movie Suicide Squad. Brad Pitt embodies the main role around Logan Lerman, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Bernthal and Michael Peña.
The story takes place in April 1945, when the Allies lead their final offensive in Europe. Aboard a Sherman tank, Sergeant Wardaddy and his four men embark on a high-risk mission far beyond enemy lines. Faced with an opponent whose numbers and firepower exceed them, Wardaddy and his crew will have to do everything to strike Nazi Germany in the heart…

Is Fury a historically accurate movie? Absolutely not, it is full of errors. But is it an excellent film? Without a doubt. Ayer insists on the brutality of war, and the impact it has on those who experience it. The fights are short and bloody, devastating. In this, Fury is part of the movement of the films (in particular) of Samuel Fuller, because it has many points in common with Beyond the glory or I lived the hell of Korea.

With the idea of a team equipped with a tank, David Ayer opts for the concept of the moving camera, which allows him to renew the environment of the soldiers while emphasizing their vulnerability and their microcosm. Because if technically, Fury is a war film, it is not here that we must look for the large-scale assaults à la Private Ryan. What interests Ayer are his characters.
