 "The Fury" is promising thriller with a very good cast directed by Brian De Palma during his prime years (that is, the mid-1970's through the early 80's). It starts off strong with a nasty machine gun massacre by Arab extremists (after Sept. 11, that scene should be scarier than ever), but going into the middle, the story starts to stray a bit too much. Nevertheless, there is plenty of paranoia to go around. Whether the paranoia is over corrupt government bureaus, questionable medical authorities, or the safety of carnival rides, "The Fury" is one edgy movie. As for gratuities, there isn't much nudity or gore (except for the numerous psychically-induced bleedings, a grizzly car accident, and the gruesome grand finale), but gore and nudity should take a back seat to suspence in thrillers like this anyway. The bottom line: While "The Fury" is not quite in the same league as De Palma's masterpieces "Carrie" and "Blow Out", it's still good enough to be worth your while. |
