Awash in millennial optimism, living in peace and prosperity, Americans enjoyed contemplating the struggles that defined their parents' and grandparents' lives. In "Fury," as the crew, led by their sergeant (Brad Pitt), rolls into headquarters, writer-director David Ayer cuts to images of the surroundings, such as a forlorn steer, separated from the herd, and a bulldozer pushing bodies into a mass grave. Ayer is best known as the screenwriter of "Training Day," and in an odd way, "Fury" bears a family resemblance. The story is mainly told from the standpoint of the young recruit (Logan Lerman), thrown into danger while under the tutelage of a charismatic, battle-hardened veteran. [...] pay attention to Pitt and the masterful way he and Ayer use his silences. In its last half hour, "Fury" takes on some of the contours of a conventional war film and becomes less about the damage that war inflicts on the soul.
