Recommendation

I don’t have a lot of deep thoughts on this film, but I wanted to put down a short, spoiler-free recommendation since -I enjoyed it. Greyhound is a small scale war story that focus on the events of a few days during an Atlantic crossing -during WWII. The film is short (around 90 minutes) and the action and tension are constant so that the entire thing felt -over almost too soon.

-

The stakes are smaller than many war films: only the ships in their convoy, but the focus is on the captain -and how his decisions impact the lives of his men and the non-military vessels under their protection. That’s mixed with -the suspense of the lurking U-boats.

The film’s focus isn’t on glorifying or condemning the captain’s choices and on the impossible calculus that the captain -is confronted with as he wrestles difficult decisions. For me, this movie has the baseline suspense and drama to be -entertaining, and poses enough difficult questions to leave you wondering what you would decide to do in the same -scenarios.

I would only not recommend this to people that find combat movies uninteresting as that’s a large chunk of -what you’re getting. If you enjoy that, then this film also has character drama to go with it and the story is grounded +
