Greyhound

Rent & Buy
A first-time captain leads a convoy of allied ships carrying thousands of soldiers across the treacherous waters of the "Black Pit" to the front lines of WWII. With no air cover protection for 5 days, the captain and his convoy must battle the surrounding enemy Nazi U-boats in order to give the allies a chance to win the war.
What critics thought
Greyhound works best as a lean, tightly wound naval action thriller that prioritizes logistics and tension over character depth — and that trade-off is precisely where critics disagreed. Those who warmed to it admired its efficient, no-fat pacing; those who didn't found it too hollow at the center, with Tom Hanks's commander never allowed to become a fully realized human being beneath the procedural surface.
“less a drama than a tense and sturdy diary of the logistics of battle”
Owen Gleiberman·Variety
“trim, narrow of scope, and it runs efficiently and well despite a barrage of on-screen time stamps and vessel identification markers”
Michael Phillips·Chicago Tribune
“A terse and streamlined dad movie that's shorter than a Sunday afternoon nap and just as exciting, Greyhound bobs across the screen like a nuanced character study that's been entombed in a 2,000-ton iron casket and set adrift over the Atlantic.”
David Ehrlich·IndieWire
