christopher s This movie is gripping if you're into war action movies that are a pretty accurate depiction. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Polly K I don’t love war movies. I’m not a history buff, and World War II has never been my genre. That’s my husband’s thing, not mine. So I didn’t expect Greyhound to grip me the way it did. I certainly didn’t expect to watch it twice in a row. But here’s what surprised me: Greyhound is a war film that refuses to glorify war. Instead, it honors human dignity—quietly, reverently—and gives weight to every life, every decision, and every cost. There’s no “viscera on the visor” moment here. Death is present—it has to be—but it’s never sensationalized. The losses feel personal and significant, not played for shock value. And that restraint gives the film a moral weight I didn’t know I needed. Much of the story plays out in close quarters. Men shoulder to shoulder, voices clipped, faces drawn tight with fatigue. The camera doesn’t try to dazzle us with sweeping hero shots—it stays in close, letting us feel the intensity of their world. It’s not claustrophobic like Das Boot, but the proximity creates pressure. You see it in every decision, every moment of doubt, every unspoken prayer. And there are prayers—subtle, steady ones. The captain, played with quiet strength by Tom Hanks, says grace over uneaten meals. He gives thanks for the gift of another day. He leads with conviction and humility, carrying the weight of command not as a badge, but as a burden. The spiritual thread running through the film is never flashy, but it’s there—and it matters. Greyhound doesn’t scream. It doesn’t try to dazzle or manipulate. It just tells the story of a man trying to lead well in impossible circumstances—and of the lives he’s trying to protect. And somehow, that restraint makes it all the more powerful. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Divyansh U. Greyhound does absolute justice with the war setting it is based on. Goosebumps are real when you watch the battle sequences. Movie direction is so crisp and convincing that you can’t help but applaud the finished product. Hanks is brilliant as always. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Jay W Often in military films, the characters will not act professional. The military is known for their discipline, but so the characters seem more memorable, Hollywood likes to make them either goofballs or rogues. In this film, the characters are far more rigid. This does make it difficult for the characters to really stand out. But I do credit the film for being one of the few films that respect the strict codes that officers live by. I enjoy the little moments they do to make these characters feel real. They actually have someone cough in the movie, and it isn't because they are going to die or for any real plot point, it is just something that people do. In general, it is nice to see a film where everyone is just good at their job. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Audience Member Great movie and visual effects. I was on the edge of my seat during most of the movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Berno S Two stars for the technical crew and the destroyer and so on - that was top. But the whole story - especially the way the submarines fought and acted was absolutely rubbish and spoiled all the hard and good work with the set.
