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.

The movie was a tribute to the brave men who fought on the high seas during WW2, with fine acting by its limited cast. The problem for me was there was no character development, something Tom Hanks is great at because the film was so rushed to get to the battle scenes. I wanted desperately to like Tom Hanks' character but had no reason to.

It’s one of those movies that if it’s on, I’m going to watch it. It’s a go to movie. Fast paced, action packed and a history lesson all in one.

Very few, if any, filler scenes. Just a damn good fast paced WW2 Movie. Definitely worth a watch.

fast-paced war thriller that puts you right in the middle of a dangerous naval battle. The film keeps the tension high with realistic action, strategic decisions, and a constant feeling of pressure. Tom Hanks delivers a strong and controlled performance as a captain trying to protect his convoy. Short, intense, and a gripping watch for fans of war movies.
