Title: The worst of Brian De Palma.
Review: The first 10 minutes of The Fury are classic Brian De Palma. It begins on a beach with a father (Kirk Douglas) and son bonding, then De Palma shocks the audience with a shootout that blazes from out of nowhere, resulting in many deaths. This is an exciting sequence, directed in a manner that only De Palma could have accomplished. Unfortunately, after that the entire film grows increasingly obvious, with suspenseless scene after suspenseless scene, all the way to the highly-touted finale, which is indeed an impressive array of pyrotechnics, but hardly anything else. For good Brian De Palma films, stick with Mission to Mars, Mission: Impossible, The Untouchables, or Body Double.
