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.

Yikes! Another Tom Hanks war movie! Great guns!

This is the guy that did Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Fury, and has starred in, directed, or produced others - names I have forgotten.

You can be it will be good.

I just hate movies where the germans are portrayed as complete idiots even tho they should be battle hardened veterans who have seen years and years of war... "Fury" was probably the absolute worst example of this.
Seeing the "Uboat drive bys" i have the bad feeling that this is going to be another one...
I will watch it out of curiosity and because well...Uboats. But the trailer worries me more than it excites me.

I'm not sure I'd call Spr (except for the beach scene) and Fury shining endorsements. <g>

Subnuts, " Pretty sure I never read about that part of the Battle of the Atlantic where U-boats with goofy conning tower emblems were doing Age-of-Sail style drive-bys on American destroyers which massively outgunned them." Next thing you know, a mafia hitman will take out the captain with a Rail Gun. Lol. And also, where the hell is the German crew?? Casper took them.

After having seen this movie clip I'm absolutely going to see it, when it comes out on blu-ray or on one of my movie channels.

Why is there no watch crew when the boat is surfaced?
