Greyhound

The star is the military machinery -- playing the world's deadliest game of hide and seek. With a running time just over 80 minutes...this is a good immersive experience, turn off the lights, turn up the sound and get lost in the chase.

The performances here are good, as is the cinematography-close, but not claustrophobic. It's a movie of tactics, resolve, and a little bit of faith. Maybe 10 minutes too long, but who's counting.

It is fascinating at the level of watching men execute their training, and deeply, soothingly boring at any other level whatsoever.

A bit slighter than some of its contemporary war movies but Hanks covers over a multitude of sins, or, in this case, mediocrities.

While spectacular visual effects, pulsating soundtrack and commanding performance by awards-fave Hanks are still appreciated at home, it's difficult to become fully engrossed here, particularly with sound & image taking precedence over storytelling.
