Movie reviews: Fury, The Book of Life, Love, Rosie

Fury (15A) stars Brad Pitt as Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier, the commander of a US Army Sherman tank operating in Nazi Germany during the last months of the Third Reich’s last stand. 

Having fought from North Africa, Italy and France, Wardaddy leads a veteran crew that includes ‘Bible’ Swan (Shia LaBeouf) and ‘Gordo’ Garcia (Michael Peña), but the close-knit team is disrupted by the arrival of rookie Norman (Logan Lerman), a hapless clerk thrust into the front-line as the American forces sustain massive losses. What follows is a battle for Norman’s soul, as the young man struggles to retain a sense of civilised morality — and, for that matter, his sanity — in the midst of butchery, depravity and war without rules.
