Damn you COVID19. This would have been worth a movie ticket to see on a big screen.
Tom Hanks?!
Watched two trailers, looks like a real good movie.......
Yeah.
I thought it was an OK action flick.
But just as I feared the Woke had to bring us absolutely cartoon Nazis.
The only interaction with them is the idiotic radio broadcasts to the Allied ship with them taking the time to trash talk them, “We are wolves coming for you Greyhound!”
What bullshit. Like the German subs would broadcast on the surface allowing the allied ships to get an EXACT bearing on the enemy ships.
Contrast this with the classic “Enemy Below” where the Germans were , smart and human.
I don’t know what it is but Hanks just is never a convincing enough character for me.
Did Tom wear a mask between scenes?
The Kriegsmarine should have halted production of other U-boat types in 1943 and started mass production the Type XXI. The type XXI U boat could have been the game changer for the Krauts. Just like the jet aircraft were delayed these boats were a lost opportunity, thank God for the dumb decisions of the mad corporal.
I saw it last week. Meh. Most of the movie is CGI. Felt like I was watching Polar Express.
Too bad he’s a pedo. I really liked him as an actor until I saw his name on the list.
I watched 4 clips looks pretty exciting unfortunately for me i refuse to give Apple even 1 cent.
I got zero interest in joining that cult..
Waiting for it on Blu-ray. Even if it’s gay market from Malaysia.
My dad was on a troop ship heading to Ireland in 1942. The anchor came loose one night and they all thought a U boat torpedo had hit them.
This movie is based on C.S. Forester’s 1955 novel “The Good Shepherd”, he wrote another book called ‘The Ship’ about a cruiser on convoy duty escorting ships to Malta. If you like attention to detail, this book goes into meticulous detail of everything that goes on in the cruiser (HMS Artemis) during Luftwaffe air attacks. Highly recommended.
I enjoy reading stories like these as they delve into the more little known aspects of the military/war. Forester wrote so many good naval novels even beyond the Horatio Hornblower series (which are excellent as well).
I will not watch it.
