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.

Robert Daniels

Consequence

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

Rated: B-

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 2/5

The Hindu

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

MSB Reviews

Tom Hanks is fantastic as the protagonist, but his screenplay is far from truly being one. All dialogues revolve around characters (mostly Hanks') calling naval instructions for most of the runtime and looking either through a window or binoculars.

Rated: C

Vague Visages

Greyhound’s inability to venture further into the depths of wartime psychology leaves it susceptible to being forgotten just as quickly as it emerged.

Jeffrey P Visually vapid and too much technical military speak with no real feel for the characters or plot. It felt like there was little change or development throughout, just waiting... for it to end. Thankfully they spared the audience and reduced the runtime to less than 90 minutes before credits. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Tomasz U I liked the movie a lot. For someone like me who loves Navy it is one of the very best. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Scott E This was what I wanted to watch when I chose it. It shows the high pressure and quick actions needed during a WW2 escort across the Atlantic and just how deadly the encounter could be for all involved. The stress, pressure, and limited technological options the US Navy had to work with. It also shows the limitations of man and the added stress those in command take on. I would watch it again, and have already. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Augustan G 7/10.Very enjoyable, however quite Hollywoodized. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Kyle T Greyhound was a great movie, had you on the edge of your seat the entire time Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Indian o Greyhound is an amazing movie. Granted the UBoats hopping on the Greyhounds Comms was a bit of a stretch. Everything from the dialogue, the naval professionalism, and action scenes was on point. I would argue this is one of the best WW2 movies filmed. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
