|
|
<p>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. <em>Greyhound</em> 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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
|
|
enough that it’s not hard to empathize with.</p>
