The rest of the crew consists of veterans Boyd “Bible” Swan (Shia LaBeouf) the gunner, Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis (Jon Bernthal) the loader, Trini “Gordo” Garcia (Michael Pena) the driver and the very green and sensitive Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), a soldier clerk empressed into serving as the bow gunner due to a shortage of trained tank crewman. The crew is commanded by Staff Sergeant Don “Wardaddy” Collier (Brad Pitt). “Fury” revolves around the tank crew of a late war M4A3E8 Sherman tank with “Fury” crudely painted on the barrel of its 76mm cannon. “Fury” does for WWII tankers what “Saving Private Ryan” did for WWII Rangers and Paratroopers. The emotional roller coaster is wrought with plunging dives into one’s emotional reservoir. This is likely the best movie I’ve ever seen or heard of that focuses on the subject.
It is a brutal, realistic, violent portrayal of tank warfare, a story not often told let alone told so well.
