Today, Sony Pictures is releasing writer-director David Ayer’s Fury on DVD.  The film takes place in the final weeks of World War II, with the tough Don “Wardaddy” Collier (Brad Pitt) and the determined crew of his Sherman tank, including shy new recruit Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), fighting their way through the heart of Nazi Germany.  You can read my full review right here.

The battle sequences are impressively pulled off, showing the brutality of war in shocking and often disturbingly realistic ways, with gripping production design and close attention to period detail.  With Brad Pitt shining in another solid and fiercely dedicated performance, and Logan Lerman delivering standout supporting work, Fury is a very well made film that is admirable for its unwavering intensity and realism.

The DVD includes a featurette with the cast and crew, titled Blood Brothers.

Fury is 135 minutes and rated 14A.
