One of Brad Pitt’s grittiest films, David Ayer’s 2014 war film depicted a group of soldiers struggling with their personal relationships, as well as the war raging right outside their own tank.

It’s a film that lives and dies by its ensemble, and luckily for Ayer, he picked the right men for the job.
