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.

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.

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.

One of the most immersive war films ever, possibly more immersive than Saving Private Ryan even. Sure, a thin background context and little in the way of deep human relationships but that's not the point - it takes the viewer to the heart of one of the scariest places to be in WW2 and keeps you there. In fact, the lack of any reversion back to civilization means the viewer doesn't escape the tension that every sailor would have felt. It makes it like a real time experience in a way few movies, let alone WW2 movies, succeeds in. Hanks is superb but such is the quality of the direction and script actually a number of fine actors could have played this role. A must watch, but pour yourself a large one before you start watching!

Excellent film! The quality of the graphics was amazing. It made me feel like I was there. I love this movie because it helps people now a days see what the soldiers and sailors had to go through in WWII. I highly recommend that you see this film.
