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.

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

The movie itself doesn't really have an identity and isn't too interesting...It's just a very 'okay' film. Go to Full Review

4/5
Clocking in at a remarkably brisk 85 minutes, GREYHOUND is a lean and mean action thriller that's more respectable than thrilling. Go to Full Review
Gautam Sunder The Hindu 07/18/2024
A layered performance from the lead star, who also wrote and produced the film, elevates this from being a mere at-sea war thriller. Go to Full Review

Raymond L @RT28018791 2d Great action-packed movie that immerses you in the emotion of the action and situation of the battle of the atlantic. The film does a good job of not having filler/distractions from the situation it portrays. See more Andrew T @RT26197345 5d Greyhound proves that a great war movie doesn’t need a complicated plot when the situation itself is terrifying enough. A convoy crossing the Atlantic, a handful of escorts protecting dozens of ships, and German U-boats hunting them from beneath the surface—that’s all it needs. The movie puts you right beside the captain as one decision follows another with almost no opportunity to rest. I especially love how procedural it feels: sonar contacts, course changes, fuel, ammunition, positioning, communication, and constant calculations where one mistake could cost hundreds of lives. It’s tense almost from beginning to end and gives the Battle of the Atlantic a spotlight it rarely gets in modern movies. Focused, intelligent, suspenseful, and an excellent portrayal of command under relentless pressure. See more William B @Will1980 Aug 4 Absolutely amazing movie.. Tom Hanks is just awesome in the movie.. A must watch movie See more Kenneth P @RT77842348 Jul 17 The movie was a tribute to the brave men who fought on the high seas during WW2, with fine acting by its limited cast. The problem for me was there was no character development, something Tom Hanks is great at because the film was so rushed to get to the battle scenes. I wanted desperately to like Tom Hanks' character but had no reason to. See more Dave E @MtOcean Jul 11 It’s one of those movies that if it’s on, I’m going to watch it. It’s a go to movie. Fast paced, action packed and a history lesson all in one. See more John T @RT67481040 Jun 27 Very few, if any, filler scenes. Just a damn good fast paced WW2 Movie. Definitely worth a watch.
