labeouf co-starred with brad pitt and logan lerman in david ayer's world war ii-set film, "fury"; filming began in september 2013, and the movie was released in october 2014. labeouf was singled out for praise for his role as boyd "bible" swan. peter travers for "rolling stone" called him "outstanding", whilst joe neumaier commented that "...labeouf finally finds a role he can disappear into, without his image getting in the way." calvin wilson for st. louis post dispatch called it one of labeouf's best performances.
