Greyhound

The subject matter of Greyhound, adapted by Tom Hanks from the classic book The Good Shepherd, should not come as a surprise. As the director of the series The Pacific and Band of Brothers, the two-time Oscar-winning actor has investigated more World War II narratives.

To direct the film, he enumerates Aaron Schneider (from Get Low) to create a war movie consisting of battles with unsettling editing. Greyhound is an engrossing character study, despite the fact that the screenplay is too sparse to include any further bangs. Commander Krause is a classic Hanks' character. He outrageously challenges almost overwhelming obstacles with humility, exemplifying the aspirational values Americans aspire to achieve.

Krause, a career naval commander, is in his very first command during a war. He is religious, refusing food before reciting a silent prayer, and he often hesitates while making decisions owing to his lack of confidence. And even though he is the highest-ranked officer, the troops below him have better fighting experience, as seen by the confused responses to some of his directives.
