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.

B-

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

If this is all Tom Hanks imagines a Tom Hanks vehicle to be, he greatly underestimates himself.

Greyhound is the lead ship and Krause is the overall commander.

4/5

Clocking in at a remarkably brisk 85 minutes, GREYHOUND is a lean and mean action thriller that's more respectable than thrilling.

A layered performance from the lead star, who also wrote and produced the film, elevates this from being a mere at-sea war thriller.

Tom Hanks is fantastic as the protagonist, but his screenplay is far from truly being one. All dialogues revolve around characters (mostly Hanks') calling naval instructions for most of the runtime and looking either through a window or binoculars.

We (my wife and I) thought that this movie was great. Although one understands that the historical cultural background of the movie is true - it is somewhat disappointing to learn that this movie is not necessarily 'based on a true story' in the same way that other Tom Hanks movies are (think Sully, Apollo 13 - etc). We were able to appreciate how there was 'never a dull moment,' and yet it wasn't 'stressful' to watch despite keeping you 'on the edge of the seat.' From a personal perspective, I appreciated the leader's integrity and his commitment to the vision despite (some not insignificant) hardship. Very inspiring!

While not a Hollywood blockbuster, the movie told the story that should not be forgotten. A good WWII movie.

This grueling couple days in sea battle gives you a renewed respect for the navy. Hidden enemy is spooky. Feels helpless.
