Bernthal from Walking Dead has a certain niche, as an ally who sometimes looks like about to snap. Peña works well, delivering a couple of good scene when least expected. Michael Peña as Gordo and Jon Bernthal as Coon-Ass (classy name) round up the crew. Shia LaBeouf as Bible is good, displaying better on-screen flair than most of his recent ones. It's not a macho leader character as Wardaddy occasionally has doubt, mostly heavily suppressed. He's as consistent as he could be, and with the experience of war movie under his other belt, albeit a rather different one, it comes as no surprise that he performs amazingly. Brad Pitt as Wardaddy provides a solid leader persona. It goes out of its way to display the gritty, sometimes intentionally overlooked aspect of war, the entire dirty ugliness of it. While the cinematography is splendid, it's nothing near the glossy or cinematic flair of other war movies, such as Saving Private Ryan, this is am unfiltered portrayal of war. The crude nature affects more than the visual, with the cast uttering unrefined profanity along with some military jargon. ![]() Strikingly far from mainstream war movie, Fury is unapologetically messy and brutal.
