Tom Hanks and Elisabeth Shue in Greyhound (2020)
Tom Hanks stars as a longtime Navy veteran who, as a first-time captain, is tasked with protecting a convoy of 37 ships carrying thousands of soldiers and much-needed supplies across the treacherous waters of the Atlantic during WWII. For five days with no air cover, the captain and his small force of three escort ships must make their way through an area of the ocean known as “the Black Pit,” battling Nazi U-boats while protecting their invaluable ships and soldiers.

    • Trivia
      The movie shows the U-Boat passing close to the Greyhound to be under her cannon and immune to fire, however, in reality when this naval tactic was performed, the Captain would order hard rudder to cause the boat to list thereby bringing the cannon down to bear. This is a centuries-old practiced counter maneuver. (This maneuver is demonstrated in many an old pirate or naval battle movie.)
    • Goofs
      One of the German U-boat commanders taunts Greyhound over the radio. This would never have happened in reality. Each Navy ship had a radio signal direction finder and if a U-Boat broke radio silence, triangulation would reveal its exact position.

    A great procedural movie, and a great tribute
    This is a movie about the procedure of command. This is an innately more complex task than the more common episodic approach that buries the procedural reality under a mask of plot and character. But this film pulls it off, largely by not shying away from the task.

    Guess what? Naval warfare, especially the sort of highly asymmetric warfare shown here, doesn't really revolve around the captain demanding more speed while the engineer says she canna take it. If you're looking for a movie that's truly respectful of the labours and sacrifices made in the Battle of the Atlantic, then this is a fitting tribute.

    Don't expect a character movie, don't expect to spend time below decks exploring the usual stereotypes. This movie is seen through the eyes of the captain, and the captain alone. I can think of very few other films that dare to depict the loneliness of command quite so clearly. There's little time for thought, there's no time to process or even truly grasp the horrors that they encounter (something which forms one of the roots of PTSD). What there is is the fight.

    The fight is relentless and deeply technical. We've become used to fight scenes carrying a few bits of technical gibberish followed by some visceral and personalised action. There's no gibberish in this film, and the latter consists of the captain cutting his feet on broken glass. The movie, like the mind of the captain, is consumed with the intricate technical and personal demands required to hunt down a submarine at that time. That was clearly the aim here, and the movie has succeeded admirably at showing that particular aspect of this type of warfare. This is not a common way to stage a war movie, but it's worth doing well on a few occasions, and this movie achieves its goal.

    The reviews show that many come looking for something more conventional, and end up missing the point, which is a shame.

    FAQ14

    • What's the reason Captain Krause keeps misspelling his crewmen names? It's left out of the edit. In the novel is he portrayed as dyslexic?
    • Why that transmission guy got a helmet from Spaceballs movie?
    • In the beginning of the movie, we see the escort plane and the ships communicating by light signals, not to break radio silence. Later on, we hear the captain talking to the other destroyers, while they are miles away. It seemed they had broken radio silence, since the subs had seen them anyway. But then, they regret having to break radio silence by calling on the admiralty.So how did they communicate? Or is it an inaccuracy?
