You’ll probably cry, but should you? Director David Ayer (End of Watch, Harsh Times) reunites with Brad Pitt (F1: The Movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) for the first time since 2014’s Fury. At the time, Fury was Ayer’s most successful movie, earning $85 million at the box office domestically while receiving positive critic (75%) and audience (84%) scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Since then, Ayer’s directed films have mostly been hit or miss, except for 2024’s The Beekeeper. Known for edgier, in-your-face action movies, Heart of the Beast shows he can deliver a more personal, poignant story without an array of characters.
