Critics Consensus

Greyhound's characters aren't as robust as its action sequences, but this fast-paced World War II thriller benefits from its efficiently economical approach.

B-

With little character development on paper, the narrative finds victory through Hanks' patient physical performance and the craftsmanship within the battles.

If this is all Tom Hanks imagines a Tom Hanks vehicle to be, he greatly underestimates himself.

The movie itself doesn't really have an identity and isn't too interesting...It's just a very 'okay' film.

4/5

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

A layered performance from the lead star, who also wrote and produced the film, elevates this from being a mere at-sea war thriller.

I love Tom Hanks, and the action was decent. However, no character development, no scene changes, too little story. Too simple for my tastes.

Fantastic movie! Dialogue is straight to the point and the whole movie is centered around the main plot of getting across the Atlantic without unnecessary BS character dramas or cut scenes that are not needed.

Despite its short runtime, Greyhound feels surprisingly long and repetitive. The lack of meaningful character development makes it difficult to become invested in the story, which is particularly disappointing given Tom Hanks in the lead role. Overall, an underwhelming and forgettable experience.

This was a great and exciting film of war at sea. Tom Hanks is amazing as well as the whole cast. The costumes, cgi and scenery is great also.

So someone please tell me where the U-boat crew are. Maybe in the shower? Well they are not on the conning tower to see where they are going Nor are any periscopes up. Might be super human and don't need to see where they need to go.
