He received an Oscar nomination for his work in the acclaimed 1998 film Saving Private Ryan.

Tom Hanks now returns to the war drama genre playing a naval commander Capt. Ernest Krause in Greyhound, a World War II drama from filmmaker Aaron Schneider starring the two-time Academy Award winner, 63.

Hanks wrote the screenplay based on the 1955 book The Good Shepherd from author C.M. Forester.

My kind of flick. I like historical events put to film.

[magyars4]

I like Hanks as an actor. But he lost me when he opened his libtard pie hole. I vote with my pocketbook....don’t like to give money to my enemies.

[AlaskaErik]

Too bad I despise Tom Hanks for his politics. Just shut up and act.

[Viking2002]

I watched the trailer last night and it was incredible. Yeah, I know Hanks is a Hollywood lefty, but he's always done justice to the military and American history, and has stood up for things like NASA's missions and our national heritage. Deep down, the man does have a sense of national pride. He's a damn good actor IMHO.

> don’t like to give money to my enemies.

IMHO it's a tough call since I would definitely like to see more movies like this from Hollywood, and good box office encourages this ...

My kind of flick. I like historical events put to film. ..................... Ditto, I think they should also make a film about the destroyer Ruben James.

Tom Hanks is really annoying. As far as I know, he’s not a Communist.

I’ll likely see this movie.

[woodbutcher1963]

IMHO, “Saving Private Ryan” was by far the best Picture that year. I believe the Oscar went to “Shakespeare in Love”.
That is why nobody watches the Academy Awards anymore.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Hanks is classy. Entitled to his libtard feelings.

[DIRTYSECRET]

W was class. Supported Hillary.

[Big Red Badger]

Saving Private Ryan,
One of my Favs’,,,
Tom,,,
Not so much.

"Hanks'" opportunities and support to garner such opportunities to act and take so many plum roles came through people and money putting their "fingers" on the scales to work against a merits evaluation that we would otherwise hope would be operative in America, the "Land of Opportunity."

Hoosier daddy?

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Historical buffs who haven’t yet seen Midway are in for a treat.

Unfortunately it is also giving money to libatards.

[M-cubed]

but he's always done justice to the military and American history,<<<

You mean he stepped up and told the whackos to stop tearing down the historic Confederate monuments??....I must have missed that speech....../s

[ExNewsExSpook]

Why is Hanks’ character wearing “scrambled eggs” on his hat as a Lt Cdr (O-4)? You don’t get them on your visor until you make O-5 (Commander in the Navy, Lt Col in the other branches). Minor mistake that all current/former sailors—and most vets/military retirees—will notice right away.

Wonder if the studio will edit the uniform blunder out of the film before its release?

[Bigg Red]

Same here.

[Oldexpat]

He’s a little old for the part.

There are three ways a liberal can end up, (four if you count the Clinton way):

1. They are elected and screw things up so bad they have to give it back to get it fixed. (Like with Trump)

2. They get voted out and we never hear the end of it,

3. Not enough people support them financially and they don’t have the money to act like idiots. Even billionaires can tap out after their leeches tax the he(( out of them.

I do two and three. And I’ve almost stopped going to the movies. Not much worth seeing anyway, and like in this case, no one I want to see.

Maybe hollyweird is waking up to the fact that a patriotic president is in office and supported by 10s of millions of patriotic Americans and more war movies will be made.

There’s gotta be ONE powerful liberal in hollyweird saying “screw the politics, we can make a fortune!!”
