Fury

Lang's considerable talent as a director is quite obvious, and the movie is full of that signature low-key photography. Unfortunately it's also obvious this movie was plagued with studio interference. It opens and closes on notes that are far too high for the middle section's extreme cynicism. The dialog is pretty dated, as are some of the supporting cast. Spencer Tracy is amazing though, playing different extremes. No doubt it's a good movie, but probably not as good as it could have been.

Fury touches on a lot of subjects: rumor-mongering, mob mentality, justice, conscience, loyalty and honor. It's a tense and thoughtful film, quite well done, and still relevant today.

I really liked what this film was trying to say about mob mentality and revenge, and Spencer Tracy was excellent as the wrongly imprisoned victim. The film gets a bit sidetracked near the end and a different approach to this part could probably have worked better. The trial works well, but the action around it doesn't seem fully realized, despite how central it is to the film's theme.

Brilliant thriller. Like in 'M', Lang explores what people a capable of in packs, and as per usual the film is stylishly done. Also, the movie is insanely entertaining, as much so as any contemporary film.

Powerful story about mob rule, with great acting all around. Spencer Tracy is wonderful, and the camera work, dialogue, and writing are all excellent.
