Interesting, but I can't tell if this will be another Midway/U-571, or something actually good.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

Sounds interesting. I know Hanks is a big WWII buff so I look forward to seeing a WWII screenplay from him.

Never heard of the director. IMDB shows a pretty lean directing filmography so who knows how this will turn out.

I thought since he's played a boat captain, a train conductor and a pilot, this was a movie about a bus driver.... :shrug:

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

His film Get Low was good.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

That’s the only film of his that I recognized. Haven’t seen Get Low yet though.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

so Hanks only does movie based on actual events now? i'm not complaining, i'm just saying...

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

Not only. Frequently.

And an astronaut!

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

Well this one is "inspired by" actual events, a-la U-571. And Hanks has a soft spot in particular for any story about WWII, and America in general. Like him producing From the Earth to the Moon, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and so on.

I think it looks awesome and cool to see Elisabeth Shue on the big screen again.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

If I’m not mistaken, Hanks was also instrumental in getting the WWII memorial in Washington DC established as well.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

I'm be seeing this in Dolby Cinema. Movies like this are made for the big screen. Footage looks great.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

So looking forward to this, not sure how many Americans know how we had German U-Boats right off our East Coast.

Love Tom Hanks.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

I love Hanks and I'm a big WWII buff, but that trailer left me kind of "meh." I'm worried this one might not be very good.

BTW, this movie is based on a novel called "The Good Shepherd," but I'm guessing the movie couldn't use that title because of the Robert De Niro movie of the same name?

So far it has a decent score at RT (74%). But the reviews are all 3 Stars.

Stuckmann gave it a C. He said it was dull and forgettable.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

This is now up. 91 minutes and in 4K.

I’ll probably catch it later today.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

This is what I expected the Battleship movie to be. ;)

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

Just finished it. Looks and sounds great. It's very good. It's not Red October great, but very good.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

This was pure rock n roll for just under 90-minutes without credits. The DV/Atmos looked/sounded fantastic.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

It's a shame I couldn't see this on the big screens, that was 90 minutes of "oh s**t!" (in a good way).

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

Just finished watching It tonight. Good, but not great. It’s very short at 80 minutes before credits. Spectacular battle and combat scenes with some intense sequences. What I mean by intense sequences was the German U boat captain taunting them on the radio. But the character development wasn’t really there. Hanks was alright, but this wasn’t one of his better acting performances. Overall I’d give this a 7 out of 10 and maybe a B- Elisabeth Shue has literally one scene and that’s it. Pretty much 98 percent of the movie is in the water.

Theres 2 bonus features in Apple TV plus. Both were about 3 1/2 minutes each. They had interviews with Hanks and some of the cast.

Re: Greyhound (2020, D: Schneider) - S: Tom Hanks
 

I thought it was ok. Pretty intense, swift moving 90 minutes. I agree there’s not a lot of character development or depth to it. When I saw that Elisabeth Shue was going to be in it I thought it would be a great thing to see her back on the screen again. Her part could have literally been played by someone they pulled off the street for a few minutes.I don’t know if a lot of her scenes were cut but what a waste. In the end, when people talk about Tom Hanks career I don’t think this film will be brought up much.
