What would be a good second world war movie that today, after “Saving Private Ryan”, for “Inglourious Basterds” after “A Bridge Too Far” when we several decades continue to decline in the history of cinema? Is there a perspective that we have not taken? Is it bloody, direct, authentic as a filmmaker like to say, if the same horrors come along even more dramatic? Films that provoke these questions, give the answer himself: Yeah, it’s still more of everything – louder and get closer to the mangled bodies

David Ayer proves with his “Heart of Steel” that this still applies. But he has not asked whether there are new stories when all the blood is shed, the burning tanks and the men lay in the mud. If the ground fog thins over the corpses and the war is over, but millions are dead. For what says “Heart of Steel”, has already been told many times, starting with the crisp short B-movies immediately after the war.


                         
         
         
                                                             

Brad Pitt plays in Ayers 138-minute film an American tank commander with the nom de guerre Wardaddy who has kept his team “for Africa” ​​alive when we meet him and his tank “Fury” in the last weeks of the war on German battlefields where it village by village pull forward. His m en are the usual bunch: a bible firm believer (Bible, played by Shea LaBeouf), a new, still has to learn to kill (Norman, played by Logan Lerman), an on the border of madness unsteady (Coon Ass, played by Jon Bernthal) and for the ethnic mix: Michael Peñas Gordo

You all might not have much to do with each other without war, penned in shell but it connects fraternal solidarity, absolute reliability – male friendships, donated by the war as a counterweight to kill and possible being killed, including gang-raped for lightening the mood in a lull , Wardaddy it can be done without participating in it. This is to yawn predictable as the sayings that Wardaddy in the few quiet moments of themselves are. “Ideals are peaceful, the story is violent,” which is the sound

                         
         
         
                                                             

At the beginning it still looks like trying Ayer, who wrote the screenplays for example for “Training Day” and “The Fast and the Furious” and genre films such as “End of Watch” has rotated to give us a war story from the telling perspective of the tank, which gives the film its title (“Fury”). When he wanted to show us the detail of the war, the men experience this, only in cutting the viewports their war vehicle. But then it goes but outside, in the hand-to-hand combat, to where they sing the SS listens during a recent march and the hanged man sees, who did not want to be led into total war.

and some fight scenes are staged at the edge of Zeigbaren, as if it were a horror thriller. Like a train of zombies sneaking refugees on the streets, it shakes a little back and forth when the tank treads, press again some corpses in the mud, shooting at anything that moves, even if it is a child, and prisoners are not made, there must Norman, the New prove themselves willingly kill.

                         
         
         
                                                             

Is that the ambivalent message that we have never heard? That the good in war do terrible? You can not be serious Ayers. That he can write dialogues, he proves unfortunately only in one sentence. “What am I supposed to shoot?” Norman asked whimpering. “The Nazis, you ass!” Shouts Wardaddy. There is nothing more to say, and it would have been to do in half the time.
