Critics Consensus

Greyhound's characters aren't as robust as its action sequences, but this fast-paced World War II thriller benefits from its efficiently economical approach.

Robert Daniels

Consequence

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

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

Rated: 4/5

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.

Visually spectacular and hardly giving you a moment to catch your breath. The only downside is the audio mix, which can be inconsistent at times.

Not a big Tom Hanks fan but he was quite good. As was the movie itself. Plenty of action and tension…I thoroughly enjoyed it. Who knew Apple had the ability to make a movie that was both watchable and lecture-free?

Excellent. Tim Hanks certainly pulls you into this one. The bravery of these young men is just awesome. Stephen Graham went through all the emotions in a brilliant display of acting.

Was on the edge of my recliner for 90% of the movie! Loved it! My only frustration was that I did not comprehend all of the fast and hectic naval jargon. But nevertheless the excitement and thrill was fully understood. A sequel? Yes, please!

Over all a satisfying movie. Lots of action. Sometimes the cgi is not up to par however.
