Greyhound


In Greyhound, an international convoy of 37 Allied ships, led by captain Ernest Krause (Hanks) in his first command of a U.S. destroyer, crosses the treacherous waters of the Black Pit in the North Atlantic while hotly pursued by wolf packs of Nazi U-boats. With no air cover protection for 5 days, the captain and his convoy must battle the surrounding enemy in order to give the allies a chance to win the war.

This was very much like 1917 and Dunkirk in that it made you feel like you were there.  It was filmed in a way where the viewer felt like they were part of the action and everything seemed very real and very intense when it needed to be.   Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks - great as always.  And the movie was super short so there was no unnecessary build up of characters or story.   Just this battle in history and filmed greatly.

I would recommend people checking this out.  It was yet another really good war movie in a string of great ones the last couple of years.
