I love war movies, especially when they're able to depict the action in such an immersive way that the viewers really feel like they're there. In my opinion, it's the genre that most requires a technically outstanding production quality. The visual effects need to be absolutely perfect. The cinemat...

Greyhound is watchable but entirely fanciful.
Tom Hanks is a Captain of a destroyer taking on the u-boat menace. He's fearless, god fearing, modest and faces down hordes of u-boats who are out to get him.
The enemy goads him, sends u-boats to face off with destroyers in 18th century style exchanges and sails around on the surface following his floatilla, in open defiance.

**Forgettable movie**
It starts out with a few scenes with the captain and his girlfriend, who showed no emotion, something that wouldn't have fit the time period. She doesn't care, he doesn't care, and no one else seems to care because nothing about that is ever followed up on, so as a result, i don't care.\
