'Fury' Review: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf Wage Tank Warfare With Savage Grace
Writer-director David Ayer's "Fury," a film about tank warfare in the waning days of World War II, does not flinch or fuss when it comes to showing the blood, gore and gristle of modern armed conflict.

This isn't disposable popcorn entertainment, or a winking "war" film like "Inglourious Basterds." Ayer's aim here is a film that will stick, and stick with you. And he achieves it.
