Greyhound

An enthralling non-stop sea battle action flik that delivers all the right blows - if you will excuse the pun. Even though there is absolutely no character development, the film worked well. From the action, the special effects amd the overall storytelling, which for the record, Tom Hanks did very well when writing the screenplay. A slice of history well portrayed A blasting 7 out of 10 stars for this film that could have seen 2 more stars if there was a more in-depth story to the opening and closing that would have supported the core of the film.

This movie may not be for everyone, but as a Navy veteran who has stood watch in CIC this movie is very realistic. I loved that there wasn't a lot of back story. It was more about how lonely and arduous the job of a Navy captain is. Must watch!

Great movie. It was 90 minutes long and it stuck to the main plot throughout the movie. It was intense, it was gripping, it was emotional and it taught me about an important aspect of WWII in the most exciting way possible. I appreciate how the movie jumps right into it without too much building up to the action sequences. Amazing special effects. Definitely worth your time if you are looking for an entertaining action flick.

I got the impression that I somehow sailed on the wrong ship - if I compare my opinion on this one to many other reviewers. Greyhound is, compared to other good or excellent war movies, an underachiever. Tom Hanks can act, but that we already knew. Anyway, not a total disaster but rather meh.

I'm not a fan of war movies, BUT after Midway. This is my second favourite war movie. Great soundefects and music. Great shots, and most of all very scary. I was all the time like, go go go. Must see

As entertainment I thought Greyhound was slightly better than 1917 for example. There's more suspense in this movie than in the Oscar winning war movie from last year. That said Greyhound is sometimes a bit repetitive without being boring though. If you're like me not a big fan of wild waters and the open sea then Greyhound will be more effective, there will be more suspense as the naval battles are quite impressive. Tom Hanks did another good job with his character, he's a guarantee for success. I'm still waiting to see a bad movie with Tom Hanks. The CGI's were well done and added to the suspense. I wished they would have filmed the German side as well, in the submarine for example. I think that was a missed opportunity that would have made this movie even better. But I'm not going to complain, Greyhound was entertaining for me. If you like movies like Das Boot give this one a shot, you won't be disappointed.

It's honestly shocking thinking of the rate world war movies are being made, some completely true stories or loosely based on one, each coming out a great watch. Makes it feel like history still has a lot more to offer. A simple movie yet so enticing. I usually hate it when movies make scenes with near misses in life or death scenarios but Greyhound made it seem so realistic, they didn't over do it. All the scenes are paced out nicely, nothing feels rushed or slow and the acting was great. The Germans' intimidation(voice) was amazing, I don't know if it was actually like that during the war but that really stood out for me. The movies only just over an hour and a half but it feels much shorter because you want it to keep going on.

Loved the authenticity and general faithfulness to the technical side of naval warfare. For me, this is a great movie, I love seeing small little details in how the captain commands his vessel, and every crewman doing their job, and quick glances to the CiC trying to keep track of enemy vessels. The movie didn't need to show the crewman following the captain around and repeating every word that Sonar/Radar reports, but it does so and adds a very nice detail that I found to be great, and also helped build the stress and tension everyone was under. My only complaint is that the movie could have been longer. I could definately have watched a 3 hour version of this that took it slower in the style of Das Boot. Other than that, I recommend this movie for anyone that loves the more technical parts of warfare and especially naval vessels.

I wasn't going to subscribe to Apple TV for this one movie but a free trial period came along. In the interim I reread The Good Shepherd. The movie condenses the deadly dance with the U-boats, which as narrated in the book is confusing in its exquisite detail. On the other hand the book better established the backstory, i.e. The Captain's romantic loss, his inexperience, his faith. And of course the necessary extensive use of CGI detracts if you let it.

... often chaotic and confusing, like the events they portray. More aptly called Greylamb as the 'Wolves' gather for the slaughter in the mid-Atlantic during WW2. A valiant attempt but doesn't quite achieve. Hard to be original with so many precedents.
