	Author	Review
United States	Frank S. Nugent The New York Times	"A mature, sober and penetrating investigation of a national blight, it has been brilliantly directed by the Viennese Fritz Lang, bitingly written by Norman Krasna and Bartlett Cormack and splendidly performed"	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"'Fury's most impressive achievement may be the way it incorporates the audience into its complex moral agenda (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Sam Adams AV Club	"It’s a dark film, visually and morally, and an angry one as well."	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Milne Time Out	"Lang later made much better, much less touted films. Still impressive, all the same, especially in the build-up to the lynching sequence."	POS
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"One of his most powerful and fully achieved; the pitiless overhead camera angle (...) has a particular impact here (...) Essential viewing"	POS
