David Ayer has continued to prove himself to me with Fury. Fury is a dark, violent and brutally realistic depiction of the hell that is war.
The look and feel of "Fury" is reminiscent of "Saving Private Ryan", but is even more accurate and real-to-life.
The real shining star of the movie is the battle scenes. The whine of high-velocity fire really sets your hairs on end. The only flaw is that the action is compressed, the combatants being too close to each other, but this is obviously necessary so that everything is visible.
The weakness of the movie is its script, which is full of anachronistic modern language and implausible situations with people talking and acting like 1990 east LA toughs instead of real 1940s soldiers.
Ultimately Fury is a good, conventional war movie that might have become something more.
