Review: Greyhound
Hello, everybody! I'm Santiago Brion and this is my review of Greyhound, a war movie set during WWII. Like many films, Greyhound was pulled from theatrical release due to the pandemic.
Based on the book, The Good Shepherd by C.S. Forester, Navy Commander, Captain Ernest Krause(played by Tom Hanks) is assigned to lead an Allied Convoy across the Atlantic. His convoy however, is pursued by German U-boats. Although this is Krause's first wartime mission, he finds himself embroiled in what would come to be known as the longest, largest and most complex naval battle in history: The Battle of the Atlantic.
While the movie made use of its hour and a half runtime, its characters. including Ernest are a bit robust and weren't fleshed out. The action sequences and visual effects were great and it was the most realistic sea battle movie I've ever watched. It feels like the screenplay was written by an actual Navy Soldier.
While not one of the best movies I've seen, I did enjoy it nonetheless.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment and share your thoughts.
