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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 3, 2025

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.

| Original Score: C | Jul 24, 2023

Greyhound’s inability to venture further into the depths of wartime psychology leaves it susceptible to being forgotten just as quickly as it emerged.

| Jun 22, 2023

While Greyhound has aspects that are well done, it does lack in its storytelling. It needed a more focused plot and better developed characters.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 8, 2023

An industrial product with blueprints and algorithms... Tom Hanks does a good job. [Full review in Spanish]

| Feb 1, 2023

Whilst the outer shell of Greyhound is undoubtedly a war movie, Hanks’ screenplay actually structures it as a horror film... Tight shots keep you in the heart of the action and increase the sense of claustrophobia.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

It could have done more with its characters or built more of a backstory. But it’s the willingness to stick to its guns (no pun intended) that makes the movie such a thrilling war-time experience.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 21, 2022

Greyhound is probably the best film you didn't see in 2020 and 2021.

| Feb 22, 2022

Greyhound doesnt break the mold for war films, but it does serve as a pulse-induing journey and a vital tale of leadership and exemplary team heroism.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Here's a war film that cares nothing for contexts, human or political, and instead dwells on recreating a battle.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 18, 2022

As is, Greyhound is a competent war film with some decent ideas sprinkled throughout that sadly becomes dull with bland action and visuals.

| Feb 12, 2022

Although designed for cinemas, this story about an Allied convoy trying to survive a pack of U-Boats mid-Atlantic grips from the word go, even while inevitably losing the immersive effect it would have enjoyed on a huge screen.

| Nov 29, 2021

It doesn't help that there is zero character build-up for Ernest Krause, making our care for him come from Hanks' dedicated performance and not a memorable mid-war maneuver.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2021

Hanks gives us a tense, terse, thriller shorn of all but the most vital events.

| Aug 8, 2021

Two things set Greyhound apart: its clean visual geometry and its narrative economy.

| Jun 5, 2021

Just as Captain Krause's unflappable demeanour reassures his crew, Hanks' presence at the helm of this thoroughly well-meaning film lets us know that nothing is going to torpedo its righteous finale.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 11, 2021

With the action necessarily repetitive and tension too often maintained at the expense of real suspense, much of the film rests on what Hanks can deliver as an actor, and here he does not disappoint.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 30, 2021

Hanks' screenplay is wall-to-wall shop talk for nautical war buffs. The generously attentive tech talk carries with it a certain degree of intellectual exhilaration.

| Mar 30, 2021

Even though he didn't direct it, Greyhound feels like it was an absolute labor of love for Tom Hanks.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 28, 2021
