Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the Captain refers to "Huff-Duff," he is referring to high-frequency direction-finding. This was a key method of how Allied naval forces detected and tracked German U-Boats: the Kriegsmarine's U-boat fleet maintained a high amount of radio traffic with its shore command and with each other for their Wolfpack tactics against Allied shipping. Huff-Duff allowed Allied naval ships to detect those radio transmissions and determine the location of those transmitting ships to attack them.
- GoofsOne of the German U-boat commanders taunts Greyhound over the radio. This would never have happened in reality. Each Navy ship had a radio signal direction finder and if a U-Boat broke radio silence, triangulation would reveal its exact position.
- Crazy creditsDuring the first part of the end credits, some black and white WW2 era clips are shown.

This was spectacular...
Holy moly...
Well, another amazing World War II endeavor notch on Tom Hank's belt. "Greyhound" was definitely an amazing movie. When I sat down to watch it, I didn't really believe it would be up there alongside with the likes of "Saving Private Ryan" or "Band of Brothers", but it was. Oh yes, it was.
"Greyhound" is a very intense naval war movie, and it was just great entertainment from beginning to end. I particularly liked the way that the movie was filmed, because it felt very dynamic and action-packed, sort of like I was right there alongside the fellows aboard the Greyhound and could almost smell the brine in the air.
I must admit that I was surprised to find that Tom Hanks himself was the screenwriter for "Greyhound", and hats off to him for this achievement, because this was without a doubt a very enjoyable war movie.
The movie also had a great cast ensemble to boast, with lots of great performances from the actors in the movie. That definitely helped to add authenticity to the movie.
Visually then "Greyhound" was just spectacular. I really liked the presentation of the movie and the way it was shot. There was so much activity and realism in the scenes that it most certainly had a great war movie feel to it.
My rating of "Greyhound" is an eight out of ten stars. This movie definitely took me by surprise, and if you enjoy World War II movies - with a naval theme, mind you - then "Greyhound" is the movie you should sit down and watch. Quite entertaining and well worth the time spent watching it.
