Greyhound Ratings & Reviews
- chrisjzahner26 mars 2026For the film this movie set out to be, it was perfect.
- FlyinGoat15 mars 2026Excellent movie about a less talked about but no less heroic part of WW2
- Enes Şahin14 mars 2026It was a truly excellent film. I'm not usually a fan of this type of production, but this film was exceptionally good. It depicts America's entry into World War II. The production, effects, and especially the acting were perfect. This film has become one of my favorites. Of course, I also want to say that Germany wasn't as crushed in that war as it seems. They portrayed them as a bit too defeated in the film, but Germany didn't leave that war completely defeated. You should definitely watch the film. It was very, very good. Great job! The war tactics and everything were excellent. As I said, I'm not usually a viewer of this type of film, but I wasn't bored at all and I really enjoyed it. Great job!
- CrossCutCritic23 november 2024Some films overwhelm you with spectacle. Others win you with character. And some — rarer still — ask you simply to endure with them, moment by moment, in silence and tension and grit. Greyhound is that third kind. Clocking in at a lean, relentless 91 minutes, it offers no soaring speeches, no grand emotional arcs, no cathartic victories. Instead, it offers something harder — and maybe something truer: A portrait of faithfulness hidden inside exhaustion. A study of a man bearing a burden no one else can see, fighting a war both without and within. --- Commander Ernest Krause (Tom Hanks) is a man summoned not to glory, but to perseverance. Tasked with shepherding a convoy across the North Atlantic during World War II, Krause faces invisible enemies: German U-boats, prowling like wolves beneath the grey waves. For 48 sleepless hours, he must protect his vulnerable ships without air support, battling not just the enemy, but fatigue, self-doubt, and the silent gnawing fear of failure. There are no heroic monologues. No dramatic breakdowns. Instead, there are whispered prayers over cold food. Quiet forgiveness after mistakes. The slow bleeding of a soul stretched beyond its limits. Tom Hanks inhabits Krause with aching humility. Every decision costs him something. Every order carries the weight of life and death. He leads not by force of charisma, but by the stubborn, battered fidelity of a man who knows he is not enough — and yet leads anyway. --- There is a cross hidden in the machinery of Greyhound. It is not shouted. It is not even named. But it is there — in every exhausted prayer, in every mercy shown, in every silent surrender to a calling too heavy to carry alone. Krause does not defeat evil by strength of arms alone. He defeats it by endurance. By staying his course through fear and loneliness and the aching weight of unseen burdens. By holding his post not because he believes he can win, but because he knows it is the place he was given to stand. In this way, Greyhound becomes a kind of cruciform meditation on vocation: that true leadership is not triumph, but service; that true order does not come by dominating others, but by bearing with them through the storm. The battle Krause fights is the battle of every soul called to live faithfully in a world swirling with unseen dangers: To act without certainty. To persevere without recognition. To endure without applause. --- Greyhound offers no final trumpet. No parade. Krause’s victory is marked only by kneeling once again beside his bunk — exhausted, broken, praying one last silent prayer of thanks. It is a victory seen only by the God who knows what it costs to stay faithful when no one is watching. A victory shaped like a cross: hidden, bloodied, and triumphant in ways the world does not understand. In a time when success is measured by noise and spectacle, Greyhound dares to suggest another way: That the truest victories happen in silence. That faithfulness matters even when no one sees. That there is a harbor waiting beyond the grey storms — and that reaching it is not the work of the strong, but of the steadfast.
- mickerdoo8 mars 2026This grueling couple days in sea battle gives you a renewed respect for the navy. Hidden enemy is spooky. Feels helpless.
- Chris Morehouse17 oktober 2025Tom Hanks returns to WW2 but this time in the battle of the Atlantic. It might not be the instant classic of Saving Private Ryan, or Midway, but it is an engaging WW2 story that shines a light on one of the less explored theaters of the greatest conflict of the 20th century.
- mattyb3522 februari 2026Great suspense building in this short naval thriller. Character development and connection is what's missing here, other than that, a very good watch.
- flavo4326 november 2025Greyhound is a remarkably focused and emotionally gripping war film, one that chooses intensity and precision over sprawling spectacle. By centering the entire narrative on the Captain, the audience experiences the hazardous, relentless stress of convoy duty entirely through his perspective. You feel every decision, every hesitation, every moment of dread as German U-boats stalk the convoy across the treacherous “Black Pit.” As Captain, he is responsible for the safety of every ship, but instead of leaning heavily on delegation, he shoulders the burden almost entirely himself—an exhausting, admirable, and deeply human portrayal of leadership under fire. The film’s depiction of antisubmarine warfare is not just realistic; it is practically textbook in its accuracy. From sonar tracking to evasive maneuvers to the coordinated attacks of the German Wolfpack, Greyhound delivers one of the most authentic recreations of naval combat ever put on screen. Taut, respectful, and riveting—this is naval warfare done right.
- Crambash772311 juli 2025It was a good entertaining movie with seemingly good history. Tom Hanks gave a good performance. I wish they fleshed out his character more so we could understand better some of the "looks" he gave through out the movie, and several times the camera focused on the "looks", "reactions", "stares" of his crew. I didn't understand why they were looking like that. Was it because they didn't trust him, because they thought he was weak, etc. One slight non-verbal explanation was when the camera panned to the floor and there was blood from the captain's feet, and some crewmen looked at each with a questioning look. That had meaning which I liked. But several other times I couldn't understand the looks being made. Overall a good movie.
- Morganfj7 juni 2025In my opinion when a Tom Hanks best acted films. The film is based on a book The Good Shepherd written by CS Forester. Tom Hanks himself wrote the script for the movie. Movie cost for $50 million in which made for theatrical release however COVID-19 pandemic auger the release to Apple streaming service. The story itself is a dramatic fictional retelling of the crossings made during the second world War by commercial vessels being escorted. The true life aspect of this is that the German submarines and wolfpacks did hunt these convoys. The license was taken for example the hacking of communications with the submarine harassing impending doom are in fact fictional and did not happen In the Atlantic. So the film was not shot at sea It wasn't back shot on several naval battleships. These included HMS Montreal and the USS Kidd for the live action. Of course the majority of the effects are CGI in which studio used over 10,000 actual photos to render the 3D CGI images. The ship appears in the Atlantic it is interesting to know but not a single drop of water was used in the production of making the film, It's all CGI. To do this the team use the video gaming software NVIDIA WaveWorks. The movie features the titular Cruiser, Greyhound , aka USS Keeling, which was not involved in natural battle in the Atlantic. But indeed a fictional ship made for the movie. The acting is superb CGI is super and the story is superb... All in all this movie deserves to vibrating I'm giving it. Greyhound 2 is also in production and expected January 2025.
- Dave Barnes11 februari 2026One of the best movies I've watched in a while, don't know how I missed this one. If you ignore the fact that Tom was way too old to be a ship captain during wartime, then it was thrills and action all the way.
- Mister Arn15 maj 2025"Greyhound" tells the gripping tale of a single voyage during the Battle of the Atlantic; it captures the relentless tension experienced by the crew. The film offers a realistic portrayal of naval warfare, featuring intense action scenes with a detailed focus on the procedural elements of a naval battle.
- JohnnyMo197230 januari 2026As a naval veteran this film is a top ten WW2 movie. While the level of action is higher than any individual crossing, the film gives an accurate portrayal of sea combat from this era. I was hoping to see a naval story from the Band of Brothers producers, I would say this is the best accompanying films. Great acting from Tom Hanks and the rest of the cast. Less flag waving and more team sport as the ship works in a convoy of US, British and Canadians. It displays how America used to be a great ally against a common enemy. Can't wait for the second installment being produced in 2026.
- drazend.petrovic19 januari 2026Well, although I appreciate Tom Hanks very much, this movie is below all decent levels ... Couldn't watch it till the end. Big disappointment.
- AdamaVaille17 januari 2026One of the best WWII movies i've seen. Setting aside any and all other opinions about the man, he is an outstanding actor. Outstanding movie.
