Tom Hanks' new convoy war movie: Greyhound

Jimbuna · 02-09-17, 10:07 AM

I wouldn't have thought so, a month or two ago this very topic was brought up either here or on another forum I frequent (can't remember which) and the interview/article led one to believe it was about one man and his inner-self above the surface.

Heinie, maybe this time we wait for the American destroyer to actually leave the area before we turn back to course 140...

well the only issue with having Hanks play a DD skipper is that at 60, he is already older than almost all the WW2 senior admirals in WW2.

but this is hollywood, after all Brad Pitt did play a tank commander at 51.

Pitt did ok with that roll I think. I believe Hanks can pull it off. Movie magic after all. And a lot of makeup.

And combat makes men look older.

The enemy below, this was a great novel by Denys Rayner, I remember to read it maybe two or three times a year when I was a teen (in the 70s, no PC nor PS4 on this years), the film was ... just a Hollywood thing, you get used to that.

Anyway I will watch to Tom Hanks and his new film on IMAX and enjoy the film as usual.
