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.

B-

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

2/5

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.

4/5

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.

Tom hanks is good, and the movie handicraft is quite OK. But if you expect anything close to Saving Private Ryan, you are in for a big disappointment. There is no depth to any of the people in the movie (surprisingly little to the main character too) and with a dialogue that consists to a large percent of barking of bearings and distances, it makes it all rather meagre. Also, submarine tactics seem very unrealistic when reading real accounts. So, OK for a rainy afternoon with a bucket of popcorn, but otherwise a VERY forgettable movie.

Tom Hanks plays the most expensive game of Battleship ever. And yet I was disappointed when no one loudly proclaimed "You sunk my battleship" at every possible opportunity they could.

Bit of a hodge podge and never really felt real -- watch the CRUEL SEA to see what it was really like.

Terrible! Without Tom Hanks it would be shockingly bad. No character development, even of Hanks, beyond he doesn’t eat, and he gets blisters. Lots of watching his cold food be in-eaten, and tons of reading of co-ordinates. Terrible music - laughed every time they played the same whale noise when a sun appeared.

This was a good, solid, conventional war film about a Navy ship hunting German U-Boats in the North Atlantic
