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 have always liked that movie...another favorite of mine was “The Bedford Incident”.
By coincidence I had re-watched Enemy Below just a few days before Greyhound was available. Both were worth the time, but Enemy Below is about as good as it can be. Mitchem is great, cinematography quality was a cut above anything they make now.
Enemy Below was turned into a Star Trek Episode that was a good one as well (Balance of Terror)
“Contrast this with the classic “Enemy Below” where the Germans were , smart and human.”
Great flick.
However Das Boot sets the standard for U-boat movies.
