Greyhound
Film · 2020
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.
The sides of Greyhound
- A first-time captain escorting a convoy
- German U-boats in the North Atlantic
- Orders shouted across a destroyer's bridge
Greyhound is good for you if…
- you like a hunt for submarines that barely pauses in 90 minutes.
- you like naval battles seen from the bridge.
- you like Tom Hanks in a World War II story about the Atlantic convoys.
Greyhound is bad for you if…
- you want to know the people beyond their jobs on the ship.
- you like sharp dialogue, and here most lines are naval orders.
