Director David Ayer and Brad Pitt team up once again, but instead of showcasing the horrors of war like they did in Fury, they’re offering a much smaller-scale movie in The Heart of the Beast. Pitt may be the lead actor, but it’s his canine co-star who steals the movie in this surprisingly good survival movie.  As mentioned, Pitt stars as James Belmont, a retired Green Beret who ventures into the Alaskan wilderness with Odin, a retired combat German Shepherd who is also James’ best friend.

But now, tension between the U.S. and the rest of the alliance has grown as the Trump administration pushes a "NATO 3.0" idea that Europe should take the lead on its own conventional defense and the Department of War has launched a six-month review that could lead to the biggest U.S. drawdown in Europe since the 1990s.
