A couple of days ago Awards Daily‘s Ryan Adams posted the new international trailer for David Ayer‘s Fury and wrote that costar Logan Lerman “looks to have the same roller coaster arc as Barry Pepper was given in Saving Private Ryan…a plum supporting role.” Sorry but nope. Lerman is obviously playing a sensitive candy-ass who trembles in the heat of battle (at least initially), and that’s analogous with Jeremy Davies‘ Private Ryan role as the frail, pale-faced translator and not Pepper’s scripture-quoting sharpshooter. I don’t mind the company of delicate dweebs in a real-life setting but they’re a huge drag to deal with in a war film. The Germans are the enemy, delicate weenie boy. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly.
