GREYHOUND
July 10, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Apple TV+, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
MOVIE PREMIERE: Tom Hanks not only stars in this WWII drama, playing a commander escorting a convoy of Allied ships across German U-boat-infested waters, but wrote it as well. It sounds massively big in scale and budget, but Greyhound (the name of the vessel Hanks’ character commands) is oddly compact and focused. It’s almost like an Allied version of Das Boot, with the claustrophobia and paranoia part of the mix on and under the ocean waves. Hanks basically has to carry the whole thing… and, being Tom Hanks, he does.
