Destroyer Life. Best depiction of the war for the Atlantic. Having served aboard a Destroyer and Naval Control of Shipping commands - this honors those who served in the Atlantic well.

Tom Hanks does it again. Beautiful cinematography, great acting all around. I could feel the emotion when decisions had to be made. Wonderful story telling about a determined generation of hero’s.

Entertaining film!. Excellent filmmaking with tight editing and convincing action. You really get a feel of what it was like on the bridge of a destroyer in World War II somewhere in the frigid north Atlantic. Exciting stuff.

Strange book. I wish I had “sampled” this book before purchasing it. I’m an avid reader of all kinds of books, however, this one is close to unreadable.

Greyhound. This is another great movie with Tom Hanks at the helm. He wrote the screenplay and gave us the ability to feel the tension between the characters that is not explicitly explained through otherwise lengthy character development scenes. The central theme of the story isn’t character traits and personalities, it’s the physical and spiritual exhaustion, hunger, and thirst Captain Krause experiences to save as many lives as possible. We even sense his heartbreak at the loss of fifty souls on the first U-Boat sinking when he witnesses a literal ocean of blood in the aftermath of the sinking. He is deeply affected by that, and we—as an audience—feel the depth of the loss and feel the victory for the lives saved. —Doug in Austin, Texas

Good action, mediocre storytelling. Greyhound isn’t a bad movie but it’s not a very good one either. My dad served on Fletcher class destroyers in the Navy, I’m a history buff and a big Tom Hanks fan so this should have been a slam dunk. The action sequences are well done, the special effects are convincing so that part of the movie - which is about 80% of the total - is compelling and entertaining. On the other hand, the Greyhound DESPERATELY needs another 15 minutes of character development for Tom Hanks’ character and the other key cast members. There’s an undercurrent that SOMETHING is going on with Hanks’ character, there’s some tension with the crew, but the movie never gives you any hint of what it is. Unlike Saving Private Ryan, you don’t get any sense of who this guy is or what’s driving him so he comes across as distant and troubled by something. The same is true with the truly perfunctory opening scene with his girlfriend. I wasn’t sure until the end of the scene if Elizabeth Shue’s character was his sister, ex-wife or his mother’s uncle’s third cousin. It could have been a really good movie but the lack of character development mostly left me thinking about how much better it should have been.
