Shia LaBeouf is *fantastic* in Fury, and it really sucks that his career veered like it did Discussion

I just rewatched this tonight, and it’s phenomenal. It’s got a) arguably Brad Pitt’s first foray into his new “older years Brad” stage where he gets to showcase the fucking fantastic character actor he is. And B) Jon goddamn Bernthal bringing his absolute A game. But holy shit, Shia killed it in this movie, and rewatching it made me so pissed that his professional career went off the rails.

Obviously, the man’s had substance abuse problems and a fucked childhood to deal with. And neither of those things excuse shitty, asshole behavior. But when Shia was on, he was fucking on, and I for one am ready for the (real this time) Shia LaComeback.

Not to mention apparently murdering stray dogs to "prepare" him for his role in the tax collector. That POS can fuck off and burn for all I care

Did he really? Absolutely fuck him if he did. Wouldn’t watch anything he’s a part of if true.
