"Greyhound," starring the ever-reliable Tom Hanks, is a gripping and visceral portrayal of naval warfare during World War II. The film is well-shot, tightly written, and beautifully executed. The cinematography plunges you directly into the icy, unforgiving North Atlantic, and the concise script keeps the tension relentlessly high. The film masterfully conveys the unimaginable realities of war, a stark reminder of its enduring relevance. Hanks delivers yet another compelling performance, embodying the stoic leadership required of a ship's captain facing brutal and relentless attacks. His quiet strength in the face of constant danger is indeed magnificent and precisely aligns with the image of a leader holding his crew together amidst chaos. I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film, a testament to its expertly crafted suspense.

Fun watch for a Sunday afternoon! This movie is not to be taken seriously and think that the plot raises a lot of questions if you do. It’s a fun, improbable rom-com with two phenomenal actors- George Clooney and Julia Robert’s at their goofy and ridiculous best. A lot of laughs and a silly ending:) Good family watch, good Sunday watch.

This is a great book and an excellent movie. Sean Connery manages perfectly the role of William, just the right amount of egoism and grace. The young Christian Slater is also a phenomenal actor for this role as the apprentice. I was extremely impressed by the performance of Ron Perlman as well. It was a well cast and well made film. I would have liked more clarity in the plot. It is hard to follow the names (this is true even in the book) More importance could have been given to the debate between the two factions of monks who disagreed on the position of wealth and possessions of the church. This is actually a thrilling debate and could have been articulated better in the film. For this reason alone I would give it 4 stars. Otherwise 🤌🏼

Relatable, incredibly funny - couldn’t stop laughing at certain points. All the main cast are amazing. Loved Charlie’s character so much… so cute. Loved the whole story. Maybe the ending could have been written better but perhaps this is a more realistic ending than any other.
