When the United States entered World War II in 1941, a huge challenge for its military was getting to where the fighting was, and getting there safely.
“Greyhound,” directed by Aaron Schneider and starring Tom Hanks, who also wrote its screenplay, follows Navy Commander Ernest Krause and his men and ships during such a period.
The movie is adapted from “The Good Shepherd,” a 1955 novel by C.S. Forester, a popular writer of naval adventures in the 20th century (Captain Horatio Hornblower was his invention).
Forester’s novel is an account of not just the action but of Krause’s shifting interior states as tension and casualties mount.

I have heard that this movie is not what may be expected from Mr Hanks, considering his prior portrayals in war movies.
Some even say rather mundane :eek:
But I say it's Tom Hanks !!!
Mundane or not, it's ... ummm well it's Tom Hanks :)
Tom Hanks and his wive recently have recovered from their Covid infection and I saw Tom in a recent interview in which he was promoting this movie.
It won't be in the theatres thou... AppleTV has picked it up and it will be seen streamed on AppleTV this month.
