OUR RATING: ★★★½
Story:
War drama written and directed by David Ayer. Set during the last months of World War II when the Allies are making their final push in the European theater. Fury (2014) follows battle-hardened Army sergeant Don “Wardaddy” Collier (Brad Pitt), leading a Sherman tank and a five-man crew, who undertake a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Hopelessly outnumbered, outgunned, and saddled with an inexperienced soldier, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), in their midst, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds as they move to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Trini ‘Gordo’ Garcia: You’re a b****rd.
Boyd ‘Bible’ Swan: Hey, you go to tank school?
Norman Ellison: Tank school? No. I’ve never even seen the inside of a tank. I’m a clerk typist. I was heading to Fifth Corps HQ, they pulled me off the truck. They sent me here. It’s got to be a mistake.

Norman Ellison: [referring to the gun] What do I do with this?
Grady Travis: Shut up. Take a look at it. See that cover?
Norman Ellison: Yeah.
Grady Travis: Open it. And now you killing. Close it up. Now you ain’t.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Alright, there might be a wolf hiding in the sheep. Kid, you’re up. Cast an eyeball on them. Anything that makes a move, you cut them right in half. People are in the way, that’s their problem. You do what you got to do. Copy?
Norman Ellison: Copy.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Do you copy?
Norman Ellison: I copy.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Gordo, talk him through that gun again.
Trini ‘Gordo’ Garcia: Roger. Hey, gun’s ready, Just pull the trigger. Every five rounds is a tracer so you can see what you’re hitting. And remember, short bursts. That way you harvest more meat per bullet.
Boyd ‘Bible’ Swan: [to Ellison] Don’t disappoint Christ, now. Don’t let them lead you astray.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: You see, we can kill them, but we can’t f*** them. Because it says so in the Bible.
Boyd ‘Bible’ Swan: Just stop, alright? I’m done trying to convert you heathens. You mind if I continue invading Germany?
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Boyd, do you think Jesus loves Hitler?
Boyd ‘Bible’ Swan: Do I think Jesus loves Hitler? I’d assume so. If Hitler accepted Jesus into his heart and got baptized, he’d be saved. It ain’t going to save him from man’s justice.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Boyd, do you think Hitler would f*** one of us for a chocolate bar?
Boyd ‘Bible’ Swan: I hope so.

Norman Ellison: He was just a kid. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, sir.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: [referring to the dead body of the lieutenant] You see what a kid can do? Look! That’s your fault. That’s your f***ing fault!

Norman Ellison: Yes, Sergeant!
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Krauts got sights on this road. I don’t want to show my flank. Any objection if I come in here?
Captain Waggoner: You can arrive on a f***ing magic carpet, for all I care. I know who you are. I know you know what you’re doing. You just paste them hard for me. They murdered some good boys out there today. Why don’t they just quit?
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Would you?
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Let’s get these boys out of there and smash those guns. Then we’ll capture the town, stop for the tonight. Clear?
Sergeant Binkowski: Why are we rescuing kittens instead of just driving down to Berlin?
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Why are you such an a**hole?
Sergeant Davis: That’s a great question.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: F***! Anti-tank! H.E.! Turn left!
Grady Travis: [over radio] Let’s go. Traverse left! Traverse left!
Sergeant Peterson: It’s just a ricochet. We’re okay.
Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier: Bulls**t! That’s a Kraut high velocity gun. I can hear it whistling.

Trini ‘Gordo’ Garcia: How do you know they’re dead? Are you a doctor? Hit them!
Norman Ellison: But they’re dead! Why would I shoot them if they’re already dead?
Trini ‘Gordo’ Garcia: So they don’t stand up and shoot us in the a**!

Norman Ellison: Well, I’m sorry. Okay? I am trained to type sixty words a minute. I am not trained to machine gun dead bodies. I’m trying my very best.
