Some time after the U.S. entry into World War II, a natural U.S. Maritime power authority must lead an Allied troop being trailed by a German submarine wolf pack. https://aovmovies.com/

Official: Aaron Schneider

Researchers: Tom Hanks (screenplay by), C.S. Forester (considering the novel """"The Good Shepherd"""" by)

Stars: Tom Hanks, Elisabeth Shue, Stephen Graham

Yes, it is taught, brisk, and focused, but I didn't learn enough about the characters... I would have felt more emotionally invested.

Hanks' script is an example of economical storytelling and the end result is a thrilling 75 minutes of the kinds of things one expects from well-made submarine movies.

The role brings out another in the Tom Hanks gallery of seemingly unremarkable men rising to meet extraordinary challenges.

When a torpedo careens right off the side of the Keeling at one point, the action beat stands out from the shapeless cacophony of screams and explosions that "Greyhound" substitutes in lieu of coherent naval warfare.

Schneider can't figure out how to elevate it beyond [his] minimal intentions, and Greyhound starts to become numbing in its tactics.

"Dunkirk" or "1917," this is not. But as a window onto an under-acknowledged arena of combat and a starting point for armchair military historians, "Greyhound" is seaworthy enough to make it across.

It's just a very disappointing and trite film... far inferior to other World War II movies... It elevates [Tom] Hanks' Captain Krause character to such a lofty and squeaky-clean level that it scrubs all of the personality out of him.

Intense WWII combat in the Atlantic; brief language.

A fast, thrilling and immersive ride. Hanks performance shines but does not overshadow a technically perfect film. [Full review in Spanish].

Greyhound is the lead ship and Krause is the overall commander.

The star, Tom Hanks, wrote the screenplay, and is the best thing about the film.

The wartime action is mediocre and dull, and the entire project is little more than a crudely edited jump cut fiesta.

Not much story but enjoyable enough!

This is the type of movie that's hard to resist. When I originally heard the team behind Greyhound, I was intrigued, but very cautious as well. Tom Hanks, being one of the most likable and talented actors in the history of Hollywood (at least in my opinion), hasn't had that much success in terms of writing screenplays. From That Thing You Do! to Larry Crowne, I've never been all that impressed. Well, Greyhound is absolutely his best effort yet, but I also believe the fast pace of the movie helped the script out immensely. The premise of this film revolves around the fact that Captain Krause (Tom Hanks) is very inexperienced, but will stop at nothing to captain this ship to the best of his ability. On the hunt by U-Boats during World War II, he must make all the right decisions to prevent as many casualties as he possibly can. This entire 90-minute movie never stops moving. There are a couple of scenes that give some backstory to Hank's character, but this film is like Mad Max: Fury Road in the ocean. Not quite as impressive, but still a highly engaging piece of war filmmaking. Where I feel this film's biggest issues lie, is as I said, in the screenplay by Tom Hanks. While nothing in the script itself is bad, it's fairly hollow in terms of story. It's adapted from a novel that I have not looked into, so I can only assume this story is further fleshed out there, but the film version was very light on substance. Now, with that said, the quick dialogue that has characters constantly mumbling ship terminology to keep you engaged throughout each and every battle sequence is almost the perfect distraction. This film is about displaying a piece of war and nothing else. For that reason, I give the light and breezy script a pass. I would almost compare this movie to that os Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. That was a very simple film in terms of storytelling, but the overall experience held you to the edge of your seat. From Hank's devoted performance as always to a bunch of solid supporting characters who come in and out of the film to offer him wisdom or help, any minor dull moment is covered up. When I say this is a very hard movie to dislike, that's because any issues it has can easily be overlooked, due to the exciting nature of it all. I could sit here and say that there is too much CGI and there are a couple of instances where the ocean itself stood out to me as feeling very fake, but many viewers will not notice things like that. There are a few minor distractions throughout the movie, but the solid direction by Aaron Schneider and the pulse-pounding score by Blake Neely keeps this film from ever feeling slow. It's not perfect by any means and there's not much to take away from in terms of anything thought-provoking, but I had a really good time watching it. If you're looking for a light, exciting watch, Greyhound is now streaming on Apple TV+ and I think it's worth your time.
