Greyhound

With little character development on paper, the narrative finds victory through Hanks' patient physical performance and the craftsmanship within the battles.

If this is all Tom Hanks imagines a Tom Hanks vehicle to be, he greatly underestimates himself.

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

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

It's a simple and straightforward movie - rather than relying on thrills and scares, Greyhound is interested in the intricate work of fighting on the high seas - but if that's what you're in the mood for, it's thoroughly satisfying.

Schneider and Hanks keep Greyhound compelling through detail, and through the sheer power of Hanks' furrowed, determined brow.

Clocking in at a remarkably brisk 85 minutes, GREYHOUND is a lean and mean action thriller that's more respectable than thrilling.

A layered performance from the lead star, who also wrote and produced the film, elevates this from being a mere at-sea war thriller.

Tom Hanks is fantastic as the protagonist, but his screenplay is far from truly being one. All dialogues revolve around characters (mostly Hanks') calling naval instructions for most of the runtime and looking either through a window or binoculars.

Greyhound’s inability to venture further into the depths of wartime psychology leaves it susceptible to being forgotten just as quickly as it emerged.
