'Greyhound' (2020) is action-packed despite its short film length and absolutely deserved a proper theatrical release. This film is set through the eyes of the Commander Ernie Krause (Tom Hanks) and his first but intense mission protecting ships from German U-boats. This film properly pays tribute to sailors and those who have been in battles in that there is little time to rest before the next challenge. And also gives a good perspective on just how traumatizing war can be especially if its your first time.
The film is filled with technical jargon but clarifications are properly given when necessary either verbally or with on-screen text. The loneliness of the Commander is shown as decisions must be made quickly, carefully, and without thought.
While this is a story about a destroyer, "Greyhound", it is more of a story of one man and his job. Its great. And deserves so much more recognition and a proper rerelease in theaters one day!
