10 Best Movies Actors Did After The Walking Dead
2. Fury (2014) - Jon Bernthal
Jon Bernthal strikes again, this time starring alongside Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman and Michael Pena in David Ayer's masterful war drama, Fury. The film follows a US tank crew during the Second World War, as they fight their way through the final days of the Western Allied invasion of Nazi Germany.
Bernthal stars as Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis, a rough but loyal soldier somewhat desensitised by a war that seemingly has no end in sight. He is merely a supporting player to Brad Pitt's commander "Wardaddy" and Logan Lerman's Norman "Machine" Ellison, but he matches their intensity and explosive acting style with every scene.
Fury makes for a tightly-wound, deeply affecting war drama made in the same vein as Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998). It is not gratuitous or exploitative, but thoughtful and moving, and comes complete with a final stand-off that rivals many of Hollywood's greatest war movies.
