Greyhound’s greatest asset is its sense of spectacle, unfortunately somewhat diminished outside a theater setting. But Schneider and Hanks keep Greyhound compelling through detail, and through the sheer power of Hanks’ furrowed, determined brow. 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

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. Read full review

Greyhound is a taut action thriller that exerts a sustained grip. Read full review

Greyhound is kind of an odd duck -- another World War II tale courtesy of Tom Hanks, who wrote and produced the film through his company in addition to starring in it. Old-fashioned and relatively small in scale, it's a sturdy if unspectacular depiction of the Battle of the Atlantic, streaming ashore via Apple TV+ instead of a planned theatrical release.

The trouble does not emerge from the movie’s noble intentions, but from the stodgy manner in which they play out. Read full review

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

Greyhound is a film I really enjoyed, it has great pacing and is a thrill ride from pretty much beginning to end. Tom Hanks is great and really carries the film. The focus is really on his character and the internal struggle with doubt and the responsibility he feels for the safety of his ship and the ones he is tasked with protecting across the Atlantic. Character development of Captain Krause(Tome Hanks) and the supporting roles are lack luster but this is really my only complaint with the film. I feel the films main goal is to convey the intensity and minuscule room for error in the heat of these naval battles in a realistic way. I think it exceeds in this and it was nice how real it felt with all the appropriate naval jargon being thrown around. Too often with Hollywood they feel they have to dumb down the dialogue for the audience and it was nice to see that wasn't the case here. The film was an intense 90 minute look into what it might have been like to be one of these brave men of the Navy we owe so much to. Greyhound does rely heavily on CGI and while I am not usually a fan of this, for me it really didn't take away from my enjoyment this time. I recommend this one for anyone with even a slight interest in WW2.… Expand

Durant la Bataille de l’Altantique, l’on suit les diffficultés d’un escorteur-grenadier commandé par un bigot (très bien incarné par Tom Hanks qui prie beaucoup) mais totalement dévoué à sa tâche et bien plus encore… c’est tout juste s’il ne va pas sauter sur le sous-marin des Boches et luiDurant la Bataille de l’Altantique, l’on suit les diffficultés d’un escorteur-grenadier commandé par un bigot (très bien incarné par Tom Hanks qui prie beaucoup) mais totalement dévoué à sa tâche et bien plus encore… c’est tout juste s’il ne va pas sauter sur le sous-marin des Boches et lui péter la gueule à coups de clé à molette !

J’exagère bien sûr, car globalement le réalisme est relativement respecté ici, même si le grand spectacle (très efficace) se taille la part du lion. En tout cas, pas le temps de dormir ou même de casser la croûte puisque soit le Commandant Hanks est au régime, soit il doit encore et toujours batailler juste au moment de bouffer… ça en devient désopilant et limite ridicule mais que voulez-vous, pas le temps de grailler, c’est la guerre !

Tellement au charbon le gars qu’il a des ampoules aux pieds… à force de donner des ordres et.. d’aller d’un bout à l’autre du poste de commandement ou sur la passerelle, pourtant pas bien grands, ni l’un ni l’autre…! heureusement que sa copine lui a acheté des chaussons juste avant de partir…

Du coup, on se demande s’il ‘agit d’une comédie… mais non, normalement ce n’est pas le cas… quoique… avec le sous-marin allemand qui se fout -en plus- de sa gueule régulièrement à la radio (?!)… on peut se le demander. Quand même. Et les chaussons, putain !

Cela étant, les images de synthèse sont superbes et les combats très bien rendus ; la réalisation est toujours claire à part parfois quelques plans un peu trop nerveux sans doute. Le rythme général reste excellent grâce au métrage réduit (largement moins d’une heure trente hors générique de fin !) et il se passe toujours quelque chose, c’est la guerre !

La gloriole typique du film de guerre amerloque (typique) est étonnamment réduite en tout cas et ne sévit qu’à la toute fin ; on constate pour le reste des affrontements acharnés entre la meute des sous-marins et les escorteurs qui doivent et tentent de protéger l’immense convoi… c’est toujours difficile et dangereux même avec le radar et le sonar… et cela le film le restitue avec un brio étonnant, finalement.… Expand

We see the internal struggle of Hanks’ ship (It’s usually either the enemy is detected, or the ship has defects). And that would be better if we cared about the soldiers. They seem to only exist to help Hanks and get the job done. Very surface level.

this movie is factually wrong on all levels and I weep that Tom Hank's is associated with this film.
