While many have criticized the "Fury" movie for its blatant brutality, Brad Pitt believes his 13-year-old son, Maddox, could handle the film's content.
In a report by Associated Press, Pitt said, "He's a World War II buff," adding "my father would take us to the drive-in as very young kids and we'd see Clint Eastwood movies and kung fu movies.
"The world is a beautiful place, but it's also a very violent place. We talk about it afterward, so I'm not so opposed."
The "Fury" movie is released by Sony, QED International and LStar Capital, and stars Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena, Jon Bernthal, Jason Isaacs, and Scott Eastwood.
Google has the following description of the movie: "As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany."
For US Weekly's Mara Reinstein, in this movie, "historical authenticity comes at the expense of an absorbing and distinctive story.
"For two hours, the tankers shoot and kill and explode and shoot and kill and explode. (All of the above is set to a bombastic musical score). There's a mind-numbing and emotionally hollow flow to all it. And this is the kind of film that must live and die on high-intensity action, as the dialogue is straight out of War Movie 101."
Richard Corliss wrote in TIME: "World War II was a historical event, but also a movie genre, and Fury occasionally prints the legend. The rest of it is plenty grim and grisly. Audience members may feel like prisoners of war forced to watch a training-torture film."
The "Fury" movie is written and directed by David Ayer. Have you watched it already? Tell us what you think of it.
