Fury

David Ayer's 2014 film about tank warfare during World War II has a high 7.6/10 rating on IMDB, but remains underrated due to mixed reviews from critics. Starring Brad Pitt, who plays Sergeant Wardaddy, a Sherman tank crew commander.

This film explores themes such as camaraderie under fire, bravery amidst chaos, wartime horror, etc. The film delivers a very solid performance, especially for the supporting characters such as Shia LaBeouf's Bible, who really stood out here, making "Fury" a must-see if you like war genre films in general!

Dunkirk

Christopher Nolan's 2017 epic war thriller recounts the miraculous evacuation of Allied troops stranded on the beaches surrounded by the German army during the Battle of France in the early stages of World War II. At the time, civilian boats crossed the English Channel in an attempt to help the outnumbered troops reach safety, despite the constant threat coming from the air above them or from the sea below.

With an average score of 8 / 10 on imdb, Dunkirk is not to be missed as the actors involved in the film Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy give an outstanding performance throughout this tense and gripping drama!
