The movie maps its course by Hanks' steady hand: A ship moving swiftly and with sure purpose — compelled by death and danger, but safe in the certainty of history. Read full review

It’s the sort of movie Hollywood made plenty of examples of, from the early ’40s well into the ’60s. Hanks has skippered a picture that stands with the best of them, movies like “The Enemy Below,” an action-packed thriller with pathos, patriotism and military professionalism. It might have been lost among the blockbusters of a normal movie-going summer. This year, it’s as good an excuse as any to sign up for Apple TV+. Read full review

Parts of the drama play out on its star’s face, and they’re the best parts, because there’s no one better at portraying a good man’s self-doubts and a frightened man’s courage. Read full review

It’s a strange and odd, film, alternatively admirable and gripping, and also flat and one-dimensional. Read full review

While The Greyhound pays great attention to detail and feels authentic, especially in the claustrophobic and intense scenes in the bowels of the ship, the battle sequences that look like something straight out of a video game dominate the movie and keep us at a safe distance from getting emotionally involved on a level this story deserves.

As well as death and tragedy, war is full of absurdity, indignity, chaos, all sorts of bizarre and embarrassing things that don’t get mentioned in the official record. Greyhound is content with its keynote of sombre reverence. Read full review

With no vividly drawn humans on display, the action feels like rootless war play. Read full review

A movie that excels where most other war movies fail.

Its been such a long time since I last saw a war movie that nailed accuracy without being too technical so well. The visual and sound effects are incredible. The movie keeps you on your toes, and I personally found it very entertaining.A movie that excels where most other war movies fail.

Its been such a long time since I last saw a war movie that nailed accuracy without being too technical so well. The visual and sound effects are incredible. The movie keeps you on your toes, and I personally found it very entertaining. The fact that I am very interested in WW2 and that I am a Naval Architect probably affect my view of this movie, but thats why this is simply my opinion. However, I think that this movie is one of the best examples of naval warfare from ww2 out there. The ship dynamics, maneouvres and the human interactions on board are magnificent. My only complaint would probably be the cheesy German U-Boat commander intercepting their radio channel and howling like a wolf. The rest of the movie is very very realistic and you can see that a lot of research and experts collaborated to produce a movie with an outstanding quality. This movie will probably receive bad critics from people who are just not interested in a Naval Warfare, or that want something more fictional like Midway, but nobody can deny that this is an extremely well made movie with a few Hollywood moments that remind us that this is still a movie based on a novel.

A must watch if you like WW2.… Expand
