Thank God Tom Hanks single handedly won WW2 fought in Vietnam, opened a shrimping business, got stuck on an island, and saved the passengers of flight 1549, He is a true american hero america would be a better place if we all strive to reach his accomplishments.
What I like about this final battle scene is the crew's response. No more looks or hesitations to the Captain's orders, they respond immediately with 100% confidence in his decisions.
@@harryvarner6652 12 years in Army Aviation. I have NEVER nor have I ever seen a soldier question a commander's decision under fire on deployments . Train as you fight so when you do fight you've already been there a hundred times in your mind. The movie got it right.....
@@harryvarner6652 You see that's the thing yes technically the USS Greyhound didn't exist but this movie is based on the battle of the Atlantic ships like this went up against Nazi U boats battles like this happened and when you're under direct fire with torpedoes in the water you do not question the captain you do as he says, how he says or face the consequences because that is his ship he is the boss
Truly. But it was released on July 10 2020, the world was still in global lockdown till then. Plus it's funded by Apple so that kinda makes it their "AppleTV only" Exclusive. But still, I would've loved this in IMAX.
I wish my grandfather was still alive (he passed in 2005) so he could have seen this movie. He was a Fire Controlman on the USS Flaherty - a destroyer escort in the North Atlantic in WWII and part of a Hunter/Killer Task Group that went after U-Boats. His ship was there when U-505 was forced to the surface and captured off of Africa in June of 1944 and his destroyer was responsible for sinking U-546 almost a year later (revenge after U-546 sunk USS Frederick C. Davis, killing 115 of her crew). I still have his U.S. Navy issued gaiters with his last name and "1943" (the year he entered the service) stamped on them. He would have loved this movie, though knowing him, he probably would have pointed out any and all inaccuracies. I'm 38 now, but I can still remember him and I watching Das Boot together as a kid on a number of occasions - that was his favorite movie. I think he would have really liked this one!
My great granddad was a Russian naval officer. Served as a gun post commander at the lend-leased USS Thomas. They mainly escorted those lend-lease convoys in the Northern Atlantic. Lads downed 2 U-boats marking no casualties on their watch.
First of all, here's to granddads like yours who pick out the glaring errors in Hollywood movies. ;) My dad was in the US Navy in the early 1950s during the Cold War on an ASW carrier in the Atlantic, doing his part and getting valuable education, life experience and the GI Bill, which enabled him to get his bachelor's of electrical engineering degree and a year of grad school. While visiting family on Chicago's north side in the early 1970s, he took mom, my sister and me to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where we saw the movie about how U-505 was captured and walked through the sub. . "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing." Too many people take freedom from tyranny for granted, not appreciating and valuing the efforts and sacrifices of many, many people throughout history to protect others from murder and exploitation. Salute to your grandfather.
This IS a well orchestrated scene. I wish that more movies follows this scheme. Well trained team work, non mindless decisions, focused strategy. Tom Hanks always adds a lot when scenes like this happens. This deserves recognition.
@@stueyguerreiro It's pretty accurate. The only rather unrealistic part is a U boat being stupid enough to fight a destroyer, even one without depth charges.
As a former Surface Warfare Officer (qualified SWO), I was impressed with how accurate the commands of the captain were, along with the replies from the ship's crew. The movie writers clearly did their research. I've literally never heard "meet her" in a movie, despite the fact that it's used all the time during real-life high-speed maneuvers. It's similar to issuing the order "stead as she goes" but giving the helmsman the latitude to use hard opposite rudder to get on the ordered course as quickly as possible, including putting the rudder on the stops if necessary. It's actually a pretty dangerous order to give, as you essentially yield control of the rudder entirely to the judgment of the helmsman, which means you need one who knows what they are doing.
As I understand it, they really wanted to give as much accuracy as possible. This is because the book "The Good Shepard" by CS Forester, which the film is adapted from, was a retelling of how it was to be part of the Battle of Atlantic. There was no sugar-coating or added drama there, just a very factual piece of nautical fiction. This included all the little details like how commands are issued and why you need to trust your crew to know what they're doing. As a civilian, it really helped me understand a lot of things about a ship is run as much as it gave me historical information. It's a very accurate of what could be a first-hand account of what a first-time wartime mission is like, even for a seasoned captain. I'm glad to know the movie is doing a remarkable job at doing the same.
@@girl1213 be nice if the sun shined a little...has a gloomy quality about it....most top of the line destroyers like this one wound up in the Pacific...my father-in-law's did...not a scratch until they reached Okinawa...end of the line...still their today where divers have been checking it out
Great movie and I saw the whole movie. My Uncle was on a destroyer off of Korea during the Korean War and he was in naval flight training at the end of WW2. He stayed in the Navy for 30 years. Not many like him in this day and age. Always has been and always will be my hero.
My dad, like Michael Lawson's dad (in another post here), served on a destroyer in WW2. His ship, the Gwin, saw a lot of action. On 13 July 1943, they were in the "slot" in the Solomon's. About 1:30AM the Gwin was hit in the forward engine room by a "Long Lance" torpedo, killing all in that location in a huge fireball. Dad's cruising station was the forward engine room but when the shooting started, his battle station was the Number 2 Gun so his life was spared. This movie made me a lot more aware of what he went through but I can't totally understand because I never went through it. My dad has always been a hero to me.
My Father was also on 2 different Destroyers the uss Tillman DD 641 in the north Atlantic on cony and the uss Philip in the south Pacific I heard many stories from that war ever since i can remember after the landing on Casablanca he was transfered to the south Pacific on the Uss phillip ,they were truly the Greatest generation ,you can find info on thoes ships and the one your Dad was on on the internet Department of the Navy-NavalHistorical center Navel Historical center home page ,He has past away now 10 years ago. Hope this was informative God Bless
Hi Dave, thanks for your story. My Dad was 19yrs when on a British Corvette (not designed for an Atlantic crossing) made the trip across the pond 5 times in 1943-44. He never said a word about it to me, except to say it was cold. So this movie has also made me a lot more aware of what he went through.
@@fredguitarman3536 absolutely true. The North Atlantic is normally rough seas. Especially between sept through april. It's winter, very cold, windy, rough heavy seas, waves are easily 35 feet from top to bottom. In heavy seas, the waves get as high as 50 feet. No kidding. The ship is forever listing left/right, and there is also rocking front to back. When walking down passage ways you're banging into the bulkheads (walls). no hot meals, and going to the bathroom is a major challenge. Have I mentioned sea sickness. It takes effort when opening a hatch (door) as air rushes in. So you must be careful to watch your hands so they are not on the edge of the hatch - the sucking in pressure of air from outside -> in, can cause hatches to slam and you could lose fingers. Also everything is metal. So very cold and slippery on the outside and metal won't give when you slam into it. This all of the normal stuff. When you're outside the skin of the ship on the main deck, you must hold onto to the steel cable rails or metal railings, or you could get swept overboard. And the metal railings were always wet and slippery. In winter - covered with ice as is the deck. Have I mentioned the cold and the wind? It goes right through you - soaked and cold. I'm not even going to discuss going north of Iceland. I have sailed up the coast of Greenland and sailed around the northern tip of Norway. Well north of the Arctic Circle. -40 degrees every day. In September, the sun was on the horizon all day. Quite an experience. Also saw the Aurora Borealis. Frigate, destroyer, and cruiser crews are a tough hardened bunch. US Navy 1983-90.
- So, let us all pray that our weary souls and weak bodies bear the greatest number of these torpedo strikes and not fall apart and die from the first blow of the torpedo .. All you need is more time to say goodbye to our loved ones,. RIP X solider🌿🙏🍺
Good movie but I was fortunate enough to hear these stories first hand from my father in law, and will never forget them. He joined the Navy on 12/8/41 at 16, by early 1942 he was doing convoy duty as a torpedo man in the destroyer escort fleet. Some of the things in this movie don't exactly match up to what he told me. We miss you Brownie! FLY NAVY!!!
A humble thank you to all that served. And thanks for the stories. My Dad and all my Uncles fought in most branches. Heros then and now and they are all gone.
My late Father was a member of the R.A.F. Coastal Command, although as ground crew he seldom flew, he always admired the efforts and sacrifice of those who gave so much. He told me very little of what went on until his last few years, then not much. I visit his old airbase on the coast when I can, especially its church.
Thank you for making that movies. My father served in one of those greyhound in 1942 but was sunk of the fjord off Arcángel,he survived but never spoke about. Now I understand the hell those fellow went thrue.
My grandfather was in the Navy, in the Pacific theatre. His ship took part in 11 invasions, including Guadalcanal & Okinawa. In a huge Irish Catholic family (he had 9 children) I’m the only one he EVER spoke a single syllable to about the war. In the last few months of his life. He was such an old softie late in life; couldn’t have loved his grand & great grandkids more. But that was the only time I ever saw a tear in his eye not at a funeral. Telling me about the heros he served with. That fought and died side by side, for you & I. And I tell you this: that man loved those boys on his boat in a way I know i could never never truly understand what that is. He and his friends would instantly lay down their very lives for one another or for the success of the mission in a split second, without a tiny flicker of thought or calculation. And did. Every single day of that war from Dec.7 ‘41 to Aug ‘45. And I may never know brotherhood like that in my life. But I do absolutely know this: those boys, goin halfway across the world to defeat fascism and save the world....they were mostly just kids, 18,19, 20 (my grampy was 21). And these young boys-quickly-turned-men were more noble, principled, and honorable, and had more courage and unflinching bravery, sense of duty & sacrifice to the greater good, and faithfulness to one another than I believe almost anyone else alive today can even imagine. They truly WERE the Greatest Generation ever. We owe them everything. Especially the heros who paid the ultimate price for OUR freedom, and for so many of us, our very lives-as my grandpa taught me, many of our relatives only made it home because of their unimaginable courage. And that is the actual real TRUTH, not a nice sounding cliche. These young men who showed the world what it truly meant to be absolutely unshakable in the face of unspeakable terrors, to fight for REAL righteous ideals of truth, honor, and the freedom of their friends, family, country, and the world. No better men ever lived. May those not here be in a place now they deserve. Those men and women of true character, virtue and integrity, cut from the greatest cloth people have ever been born of, who saved the world through their grit, determination, and absolute, ironclad unwillingness to do anything but what was right. If you have a chance to still talk with a WWII vet-you better take that treasure while you barely still can. Whatever it is. And savor it forever. Tell them you know how in debt you are to them. My god bless them all.
It’s shame that a generation of wonderful people is almost gone and we’re left the crazy young twats who don’t know even know common sense. And I’m 19 so I’m also not to old but always felt as if I born in the wrong time. Our values are not the same. Shame. Your grandfather sounded like a cool guy. 🚣♀️ I’m actually planning on joining the Royal Navy reserves as an officer. I know the navy is nothing what it use too but I would definitely like to be back at sea.
Justin Mix Bro, my father was naval medical cadet who first defended Leningrad from the Nazis in July-September 1941, and then completed 2 naval practices in Northern Fleet on hospital ship Voronezh , which delivered wounded sailors and soldiers to Arkhangelsk .. Thanks to American sailors and President Roosevelt for helping Red Army in fight against Nazism.
I grew up surrounded by men who fought and won the greatest war in history. I am white, Christian, male, and if someone dont like it they can kiss my ass
Salutes men! I see you are talking about heroes in here, I had also one in my family. I am from Greece, and as you know we always had the most brave warriors, like my Great grandfather, he fought in the Campaign against the Turks in Smyrna in 1919, and then also fought against the Italian fascists in the Albanian front in 1941! Respect to all these men!
@@SelfImprovement1111 I’ve often felt the same way, totally know what you mean. Even so, I still really hope you still have some awesome adventures and forge some deep bonds of brotherhood in the Royal Navy, my friend. My great uncle (grandpa’s brother) was in the European theater of the war, and never saw action, but always had the utmost respect and greatest things to say about the English people and their soldiers/sailors. That they were thee bravest, most gritty, steely resolved people you could imagine. I think his time in the U.K. was the best of his life. Great luck to you, brother. Be safe out there mate
Your review at the end is on point. And with 16 yrs of Active naval service, I'd say 98% accurate from a Navy standpoint; all the jargon, commands, and nautical verbiage were spot on, save a couple things. Kudos to whoever the military advisors were when making this film!
Checkout Dracheinifel's video about the Great White Fleet. Those ships were not only wetter, but he remarks on the toll the Atlantic typically takes of ships in the Atlantic.
Certainly heckling your enemy by radio would be very difficult if not impossible, and also pretty stupid. Also stupid would be surfacing to fight them unless it was absolutely necessary due to a hole in the pressure hull or a lack of diving control/depth keeping.
Having been in the US Navy up north in the winter I can imagine the terror the sailors must have felt knowing if they were sunk and survived the cold ocean would take them in 3 minutes. Damn what a place to fight like that. My hat is off to all those merchant marine and navy sailors.
Several years ago we had one, privately owned, kept on the ramp next to the USCG Station San Diego. I was sad to see it leave. I don't know where it went.
My dad was on a Destroyer in the Atlantic for two years and on a PT Boat in the Pacific for two year's. He also was in the Occupation of Japan. He passed in 98.
Thank you for your Service. I want to tell you I remember watching the News with my dad when the Vietnam War was going on. He said a couple of times that you guys and the Korean Men weren't being treated right. He said they had everything they needed and he didn't care who they had to steal it from. He said all they had to do is win. And the Government was stopping the Soldiers from winning and it pissed him off very much. He was for sure on y'alls side. God bless you and again thank you so much for your Service and recognizing my dad. He was the best!
@@kurtsherrick2066, you are totally correct! We were NEVER meant to win Kennedy's war! It seemed that everything was stacked against our men and women all in the name of keeping that senseless conflict going so that Wall Street and the politicians they owned could just get richer and richer. Then Johnson somehow managed to get Kennedy eliminated and really screwed things up by stopping the B-52 bombing missions. Even an NVA General after it was all over made the statement that we had them until the bombing stopped and then they knew it was over for us. So many of my friends and high school classmates never came back except in a cheap, government furnished box! All of those lives wasted for no logical reason. Yes, as a Vietnam era vet (I volunteered twice but my MOS prevented my going) I've heard all of the trivial and tripe comments trying to give some reasons for it but frankly, NONE of them hold much value to me.
Grandfather did damage control on a destroyer at Guadalcanal. Not that he was a part of a damage control party, he was just a machinist before the war. Hell of a smart 8th grade dropout! And he was exempt from the draft but volunteered anyway. RIP Grandpa Tony, April 1914 - September 2006
The book it was based upon is quite different. It is narrated in the third person who knows and relates all of the captain's thoughts. It's a powerful lesson in crises management. He's new to the ship and to his crew and he must evaluate and train them while surrounded by all sorts of tactical and logistics problems. And do it with no sleep. If the US Navy actually builds leaders like this at Annapolis, I'm in awe.
RIP Captain Ernest E. Evans , USS Johnston (DDS 557) and Captain Robert W. Copeland, USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE 413) were such men. Stories of bravery so significant as to be almost unbelievable.
I viewed all the trailers dozens of time before watching the movie and every time I view a trailer again, my adrenaline still gets pumping! EXCELLENT MOVIE!
The movie was awesome. I purchased an Apple TV just so I could watch this movie. If you like the suspense and drama of naval battles this movie is for you. It is nonstop action from beginning to end. I have always loved the navy more than any other of the armed services. So I was immediately riveted to my seat for the entire length of the film! GO NAVY!!!!!
Azka '02 you just said dunkirk has no character development but somehow the characters develop. That doesn’t make sense. And in this film the characters could be copy-pasted onto any sailor from any country. Three whole character traits I could find in this film are 1. The Captain doesn’t sleep a lot. 2. The captains religious. 3. The bridge talker is new because he stutters. That’s it. That’s all we have for character distinction in this movie. They’re boring.
I wish it was in theaters then people would have appreciate it even more and reach a wider audience. Damn that year 2020 but I appreciate Tom Hanks and his crew for this movie.
My uncle Jim was a gun layer on a light cruiser on the Murmansk run and this movie makes think of the couple of near misses he experienced while serving in the RCN.
My father's best friend, Ray Collins, served on the USS Mayrant, DD402. He was at the landings at North Africa, Sicily, where it damn near was sunk by a Stuka, Italy and Normandy. The ship performed convoy duty in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, and then was sent to the Pacific, where it performed picket duty off of Okinawa. That is where Ray told me he learned what real fear was, being attacked by kamikazes.
@@richardcline1337 As far as I know it was only released in Region 1. Which sucks as everything here is Region 2. Region codes were such a stupid idea anyway...
My father was in the Royal Navy protecting the convoys during WWII, and it's scary to think this is what he faced as an able seaman, he was just a boy and still in his teens...a great film.
My great grandfather was founder of Consolidated. That little PBY was his baby. Its special for us as a family to see it get a little love and respect in cinema. Thanks for the clip.
My late father started at Consolidated’s San Diego factory in 1940 as quality control inspector for PBYs. Then assigned to NAS Kaneohe Bay as aeronautical engineer for PBY Repair & Overhaul from 1943 to end of WW2.
My father's best friend, Ray Collins, was a plank owner on the USS Mayrant. Escort duty in the North Atlantic, all the landings from North Africa to Normandy, and damn near sunk by a direct hit by a Stuka. He and his ship also performed escort duty in the Pacific, and picket duty off Okinawa, fighting off Kamikazes. He told that is where he learned what real fear was. I wish he were alive to see this movie. From what he told me before he passed, it is a great depiction of what he and all those who served on Destroyer's and Destroyer Escort's went through.
The thing I like about Tom Hanks is he is an every day man caught up in extraordinary circumstances... someone we all hope we would gravitate to if that person was us.
What a brilliant movie ..Loved it ...People just do not understand this Kind of War .. and want Unreal war movies instead of Movies that close on Historical Accuracy !Amazing War movie ..
I love this Actor ..He his just one of the Top actors of all time, Being following his movies since he started in Movie industry , But this War movies , Saving Private Ryan and now Greyhound are jus my Favorites of all time in War movies ....This Movie is brilliant and I am a huge Fan of the WWII Atlantic War Never have seen someone pick up the side of the Destroyer Commanders and Warfare against the U-Boats...This is just a outstanding Movie .. and yes sad he didn't had the chance of hitting the Theaters..
@@lewisclark5694 Among other things... Sad that the words talked and spread degrade a great actor...When this people start to mix their acting careers with Politics and most of all with Rotten Politicians its sad.. but that doesn't take the fact that he is a great and one of the best actor alive !...I do not care about his personal political inclinations or thoughts , everyone is entitled to have their own believes being wrong or bad its theirs to judge sooner or later in life !...I will continue watching him as a great actor ...
Nice that the Canadians and Brits were given some credit, seeing that they did almost all of the hard work in the North Atlantic...I was cheering on the Dickey on her attack
Dedication and focus of the captain to stay awake and attentive during the entire 50 hour duration of the crossing of the Black Pit. Pretty amazing. You could tell that it drained him in the later stages.
Exactly. Lack of sleep was the main challenge, even for the ratings. The smallest Brit protection was the flower class corvette which rolled heavily in most weathers and prohibited any ready. Even the destroyers were fairly undulating.
Mike I also add as if I was an expert something profound and and witty a very sarcastic and thank you Google for helping me spell big words laugh out loud
Loved the movie. Picked up subscription just to see it. Tom Hanks did a great job with the character. You could see the weight of responsibility work on him. My father was on a jeep carrier in the pacific and my uncle on a sub chaser in the Atlantic. D-day did in my uncle mentally. He was never "right" afterwards. So many brave men, then and now.
9/10. Great movie. Not much for character development, but it tells its story from a realistic place. You feel like part of Hanks crew, they’re pretty accurate with actual ship speak and tactics and you do see the accumulation effect on a captain his position. One of my favorite WWII movies.
Wow! I served aboard a destroyer during Vietnam, but never faced this kind of threat. My dad served on a destroyer in World War 2, and his ship was severely damaged by a direct kamikaze hit at Okinawa. A bunch of his shipmates died. My dad had third degree burns on half his body. He was a Gunner's Mate manning a 40 mm antiaircraft mount, and was shooting at the Japanese plane as it came in low. He could see the pilot's face, and said he was smiling as he crashed into the ship. He never forgot that creepy smile on the suicide pilot's face for the rest of his life. He said it would frequently haunt his dreams at night.
Some the most hazardous combat duty in the closing months of WWII was being a member of the crew of a US Navy destroyer on the picket line between Okinawa and the Japanese planes coming down from the home islands to get at the fleet which was held stationary in a relatively small patch of ocean by the need to support the Marines and the Army for months. During the war, the effectiveness of the Kamikaze was deliberately downplayed to protect the sailors and because, although they didn't sink any large capital ships they did a great deal of damage to many vessels, including to several fleet carriers. I think a great film could be made about the destroyers on the picket line.
@@RLJmusic4life That smiling pilot may already have been dead. One of the problems of dealing with kamikazes was that even the lightly constructed Japanese aircraft were surprisingly resistant to hits from 20mm and 40mm. Again and again planes which were literally shredded by AA guns and obviously on the verge of disintegrating kept coming on carried by momentum and guided by pilots who were not concerned about making it back home. If they didn't burn, they had to literally be blown apart in order to stop them. It's hard for those of us who weren't there to fathom the psychological effect the kamikazes had on tired and stressed crews who spent hours at general quarters for days on end.
As a former navy electrician, this movie is SO good. Its unceasingly realistic and captures vividly the intensity, movement and teamwork. It's phenomenal and I love it.
Don't need to imagine it. While ship to ship combat is far less intense in modern times all naval and Marines when out to sea are stuck in the middle of an ocean on a floating bomb. Even Amphibious assault ships with so few armaments, have 10's of thousands of gallons of various fuels, weapon lockers, ammo for various weapons, weapons/lockers for the Marines and their equipment and, I am not sure about other ships but, I know mine had 7.5 tons of C-4 on it. Not even considering Nuc capable ships and even ships with Nuc reactors.
@@brandonlevy8680 A good example of that was the IJN Taiho. It was hit with just one torpedo from the U.S. Navy submarine USS Albacore but when an engineer flipped a switch the ventilate the ship, those gas fumes from the damaged gasoline stores ripped the carrier apart and then the magazines blew and literally blew the ship's sides out. The same thing caused the loss of HMS Hood. Bismarck hit the ship in her one really vulnerable spot, set off the magazines and the Hood blew up and sank so fast only three of her crew were saved. Look at what caused the deaths of 1177 men on board the USS Arizona. The one lucky bomb landed right on top of her forward magazine and ripped the ship apart with such violence it is said her bow came completely out of the water before settling back to the bottom.
Very exciting but one problem. U boats didn't target destroyers they avoided them like the plague. As a target they were nearly impossible and killing them was useless. U boats targeted freighters and tankers. Much easier to hit. Much more value to sink and they didn't hunt you down like a ravenous dog.
You are right, however in many cases the Uboat would surface and attempt to sink or finish off the surface ships with their deck gun, specially if they were damaged and unable to dive. So it was not totally impossible several slugfests between sub and ships took place.
jose amram and that only lasted until the Merchants were armed with their own guns and escorts(Like Greyhound here) were in greater numbers, not to mention Radar and sonar.
If you look in the records, it was not un-common for a U-boat to sink an escort. Rare, but not un-common. Though full modern (back then) DDs as greyhound would barely have been seen at close escort duties in early 1942. That was a job for ASW trawlers, corvettes and older/obsolete DDs. The latter often having some boilers, guns and torpedo tubes removed for more fuel and depth charges. I have more problems with an unexperienced US-DD leading a concoy in early 1942. That was an all-out British/Canadian job. The troop transport also doesn't fit in. These were done in their own special convoys, usually by fast passenger liners, which could out-run the U-boats. But the movie was good, all incorrect details aside.
Finally, somebody who has seen the movie for its real value. There's no character building because it is not needed. It is a movie about the extraordinary efforts of normal, regular people during those times. It focuses on the key elements: intense stress and exhaustion those people were exposed to.
Looks to be a brilliant movie. It reminds me of the 1958 film "The Enemy Below", a tight tense war drama centered more on the entire crew than one person.
It’s just a shame this is Hollywood garbage. A U Boat would never stay at periscope depth when under attack like that or fire a single torpedo at a warship. They always fired a spread of 3 at 5 degree intervals and then crash dived to avoid any surface fire or depth charges. Once again historically inaccurate Hollywood crap.
@@stueyguerreiro Not to mention the rounds couldn't do a thing to a submerged vessel below surface. Same mistake as with Saving Private Ryan opening sequence (D-Day landing).

That gorgeous Catalina at the end, showing up like a guardian angel. A lady of the sky and sea.
Like in Saving Private Ryan. Angels on our shoulders.
The Cats won the convoy battle. Although that's not to lessen the sacrifice of the sailors.

Greyhound would have been a hit if it was in the theaters, I can imagine watching the movie with the sound systems in the theatre would be wonderful.
Next best thing, if you have a VR system that connects to a movie playing device (PlayStation, computer) it's the best home theater for one.

Meh, he's in a Destroyer. That's easy mode. Let's see how he can dodge torpedoes in a Battleship
Lol
I wish my grandfather was still alive (he passed in 2005) so he could have seen this movie. He was a Fire Controlman on the USS Flaherty - a destroyer escort in the North Atlantic in WWII and part of a Hunter/Killer Task Group that went after U-Boats. His ship was there when U-505 was forced to the surface and captured off of Africa in June of 1944 and his destroyer was responsible for sinking U-546 almost a year later (revenge after U-546 sunk USS Frederick C. Davis, killing 115 of her crew). I still have his U.S. Navy issued gaiters with his last name and "1943" (the year he entered the service) stamped on them. He would have loved this movie, though knowing him, he probably would have pointed out any and all inaccuracies. I'm 38 now, but I can still remember him and I watching Das Boot together as a kid on a number of occasions - that was his favorite movie. I think he would have really liked this one!
My great granddad was a Russian naval officer. Served as a gun post commander at the lend-leased USS Thomas. They mainly escorted those lend-lease convoys in the Northern Atlantic. Lads downed 2 U-boats marking no casualties on their watch.
Great story thanks for sharing!
They don’t make movies like Das Boot anymore.
@@rhysbumemendoza354 No, they definitely do not.
First of all, here's to granddads like yours who pick out the glaring errors in Hollywood movies. ;) My dad was in the US Navy in the early 1950s during the Cold War on an ASW carrier in the Atlantic, doing his part and getting valuable education, life experience and the GI Bill, which enabled him to get his bachelor's of electrical engineering degree and a year of grad school. While visiting family on Chicago's north side in the early 1970s, he took mom, my sister and me to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where we saw the movie about how U-505 was captured and walked through the sub.
.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing." Too many people take freedom from tyranny for granted, not appreciating and valuing the efforts and sacrifices of many, many people throughout history to protect others from murder and exploitation. Salute to your grandfather.
I wish my Dad was still alive, he’s Retired Navy, he would have loved this movie!
This IS a well orchestrated scene. I wish that more movies follows this scheme. Well trained team work, non mindless decisions, focused strategy.
Tom Hanks always adds a lot when scenes like this happens. This deserves recognition.
My friend the scene is completely unrealistic and never actually happened.
@@stueyguerreiro It's pretty accurate. The only rather unrealistic part is a U boat being stupid enough to fight a destroyer, even one without depth charges.
@@stueyguerreiro I can never see a Uboat captain surfacing against a destroyer.
@@stueyguerreiro were you in the navy or something?
@@GaryArmstrongmacgh They didn't want to, they were hit and had to surface.
As a former Surface Warfare Officer (qualified SWO), I was impressed with how accurate the commands of the captain were, along with the replies from the ship's crew. The movie writers clearly did their research.
I've literally never heard "meet her" in a movie, despite the fact that it's used all the time during real-life high-speed maneuvers. It's similar to issuing the order "stead as she goes" but giving the helmsman the latitude to use hard opposite rudder to get on the ordered course as quickly as possible, including putting the rudder on the stops if necessary. It's actually a pretty dangerous order to give, as you essentially yield control of the rudder entirely to the judgment of the helmsman, which means you need one who knows what they are doing.
As I understand it, they really wanted to give as much accuracy as possible. This is because the book "The Good Shepard" by CS Forester, which the film is adapted from, was a retelling of how it was to be part of the Battle of Atlantic. There was no sugar-coating or added drama there, just a very factual piece of nautical fiction. This included all the little details like how commands are issued and why you need to trust your crew to know what they're doing.
As a civilian, it really helped me understand a lot of things about a ship is run as much as it gave me historical information. It's a very accurate of what could be a first-hand account of what a first-time wartime mission is like, even for a seasoned captain. I'm glad to know the movie is doing a remarkable job at doing the same.
@@girl1213 be nice if the sun shined a little...has a gloomy quality about it....most top of the line destroyers like this one wound up in the Pacific...my father-in-law's did...not a scratch until they reached Okinawa...end of the line...still their today where divers have been checking it out
This is old school command. The captain had extremely high-level ship-handling skills.
@@frankpienkosky5688 Hope your father in law came home...okay.
yeah so realisitc, this trash movie :D
Navy veterans from any country should appreciate this movie. The commands and responses by the crew in the combat scenes are very accurate. Salute.
Great movie and I saw the whole movie. My Uncle was on a destroyer off of Korea during the Korean War and he was in naval flight training at the end of WW2. He stayed in the Navy for 30 years. Not many like him in this day and age. Always has been and always will be my hero.
My dad, like Michael Lawson's dad (in another post here), served on a destroyer in WW2. His ship, the Gwin, saw a lot of action. On 13 July 1943, they were in the "slot" in the Solomon's. About 1:30AM the Gwin was hit in the forward engine room by a "Long Lance" torpedo, killing all in that location in a huge fireball. Dad's cruising station was the forward engine room but when the shooting started, his battle station was the Number 2 Gun so his life was spared. This movie made me a lot more aware of what he went through but I can't totally understand because I never went through it. My dad has always been a hero to me.
My Father was also on 2 different Destroyers the uss Tillman DD 641 in the north Atlantic on cony and the uss Philip in the south Pacific I heard many stories from that war ever since i can remember after the landing on Casablanca he was transfered to the south Pacific on the Uss phillip ,they were truly the Greatest generation ,you can find info on thoes ships and the one your Dad was on on the internet Department of the Navy-NavalHistorical center Navel Historical center home page ,He has past away now 10 years ago. Hope this was informative God Bless
Hi Dave, thanks for your story. My Dad was 19yrs when on a British Corvette (not designed for an Atlantic crossing) made the trip across the pond 5 times in 1943-44. He never said a word about it to me, except to say it was cold. So this movie has also made me a lot more aware of what he went through.
@@phillipatkinson4932 i heard that a rough day or days in the north Atlantic was worst than a typhoon in the south Pacific
@@fredguitarman3536 there is no cold worse than a completely wet cold.. it chills to the bone
@@fredguitarman3536 absolutely true. The North Atlantic is normally rough seas. Especially between sept through april. It's winter, very cold, windy, rough heavy seas, waves are easily 35 feet from top to bottom. In heavy seas, the waves get as high as 50 feet. No kidding. The ship is forever listing left/right, and there is also rocking front to back. When walking down passage ways you're banging into the bulkheads (walls). no hot meals, and going to the bathroom is a major challenge. Have I mentioned sea sickness. It takes effort when opening a hatch (door) as air rushes in. So you must be careful to watch your hands so they are not on the edge of the hatch - the sucking in pressure of air from outside -> in, can cause hatches to slam and you could lose fingers. Also everything is metal. So very cold and slippery on the outside and metal won't give when you slam into it. This all of the normal stuff. When you're outside the skin of the ship on the main deck, you must hold onto to the steel cable rails or metal railings, or you could get swept overboard. And the metal railings were always wet and slippery. In winter - covered with ice as is the deck. Have I mentioned the cold and the wind? It goes right through you - soaked and cold. I'm not even going to discuss going north of Iceland. I have sailed up the coast of Greenland and sailed around the northern tip of Norway. Well north of the Arctic Circle. -40 degrees every day. In September, the sun was on the horizon all day. Quite an experience. Also saw the Aurora Borealis. Frigate, destroyer, and cruiser crews are a tough hardened bunch. US Navy 1983-90.
"Life is like a box of torpedoes."
You never know what triggers the fish. Impact or proximity.
”Unless it’s a pail, then it’s like a pail of torpedoes!”
@F-22 Raptor , Bahahahaha
More like the sound he made in the hallway when he saw what his mom been doing for spare change
- So, let us all pray that our weary souls and weak bodies bear the greatest number of these torpedo strikes and not fall apart and die from the first blow of the torpedo ..
All you need is more time to say goodbye to our loved ones,.
RIP X solider🌿🙏🍺
Good movie but I was fortunate enough to hear these stories first hand from my father in law, and will never forget them. He joined the Navy on 12/8/41 at 16, by early 1942 he was doing convoy duty as a torpedo man in the destroyer escort fleet. Some of the things in this movie don't exactly match up to what he told me. We miss you Brownie! FLY NAVY!!!
Tom Hanks & Crew have the wonderful capacity to put you on the edge of your seat and KEEP YOU THERE. Well Done Mr. Hanks & Co,
A humble thank you to all that served. And thanks for the stories. My Dad and all my Uncles fought in most branches. Heros then and now and they are all gone.
My late Father was a member of the R.A.F. Coastal Command, although as ground crew he seldom flew, he always admired the efforts and sacrifice of those who gave so much. He told me very little of what went on until his last few years, then not much. I visit his old airbase on the coast when I can, especially its church.
Bless our allies...to this day!
Thank you for making that movies.
My father served in one of those greyhound in 1942 but was sunk of the fjord off Arcángel,he survived but never spoke about.
Now I understand the hell those fellow went thrue.
Öhm this ist a Movie
My grandfather was in the Navy, in the Pacific theatre. His ship took part in 11 invasions, including Guadalcanal & Okinawa. In a huge Irish Catholic family (he had 9 children) I’m the only one he EVER spoke a single syllable to about the war. In the last few months of his life. He was such an old softie late in life; couldn’t have loved his grand & great grandkids more. But that was the only time I ever saw a tear in his eye not at a funeral. Telling me about the heros he served with. That fought and died side by side, for you & I. And I tell you this: that man loved those boys on his boat in a way I know i could never never truly understand what that is. He and his friends would instantly lay down their very lives for one another or for the success of the mission in a split second, without a tiny flicker of thought or calculation. And did. Every single day of that war from Dec.7 ‘41 to Aug ‘45. And I may never know brotherhood like that in my life. But I do absolutely know this: those boys, goin halfway across the world to defeat fascism and save the world....they were mostly just kids, 18,19, 20 (my grampy was 21). And these young boys-quickly-turned-men were more noble, principled, and honorable, and had more courage and unflinching bravery, sense of duty & sacrifice to the greater good, and faithfulness to one another than I believe almost anyone else alive today can even imagine.
They truly WERE the Greatest Generation ever.
We owe them everything. Especially the heros who paid the ultimate price for OUR freedom, and for so many of us, our very lives-as my grandpa taught me, many of our relatives only made it home because of their unimaginable courage. And that is the actual real TRUTH, not a nice sounding cliche. These young men who showed the world what it truly meant to be absolutely unshakable in the face of unspeakable terrors, to fight for REAL righteous ideals of truth, honor, and the freedom of their friends, family, country, and the world. No better men ever lived. May those not here be in a place now they deserve. Those men and women of true character, virtue and integrity, cut from the greatest cloth people have ever been born of, who saved the world through their grit, determination, and absolute, ironclad unwillingness to do anything but what was right.
If you have a chance to still talk with a WWII vet-you better take that treasure while you barely still can. Whatever it is. And savor it forever. Tell them you know how in debt you are to them.
My god bless them all.
It’s shame that a generation of wonderful people is almost gone and we’re left the crazy young twats who don’t know even know common sense. And I’m 19 so I’m also not to old but always felt as if I born in the wrong time. Our values are not the same. Shame.
Your grandfather sounded like a cool guy. 🚣♀️
I’m actually planning on joining the Royal Navy reserves as an officer. I know the navy is nothing what it use too but I would definitely like to be back at sea.
Justin Mix Bro, my father was naval medical cadet who first defended Leningrad from the Nazis in July-September 1941, and then completed 2 naval practices in Northern Fleet on hospital ship Voronezh , which delivered wounded sailors and soldiers to Arkhangelsk ..

Salutes men! I see you are talking about heroes in here, I had also one in my family. I am from Greece, and as you know we always had the most brave warriors, like my Great grandfather, he fought in the Campaign against the Turks in Smyrna in 1919, and then also fought against the Italian fascists in the Albanian front in 1941! Respect to all these men!
@@SelfImprovement1111 I’ve often felt the same way, totally know what you mean. Even so, I still really hope you still have some awesome adventures and forge some deep bonds of brotherhood in the Royal Navy, my friend. My great uncle (grandpa’s brother) was in the European theater of the war, and never saw action, but always had the utmost respect and greatest things to say about the English people and their soldiers/sailors. That they were thee bravest, most gritty, steely resolved people you could imagine. I think his time in the U.K. was the best of his life. Great luck to you, brother. Be safe out there mate
Your review at the end is on point. And with 16 yrs of Active naval service, I'd say 98% accurate from a Navy standpoint; all the jargon, commands, and nautical verbiage were spot on, save a couple things. Kudos to whoever the military advisors were when making this film!
But Tom Hanks is in it, and he visited Epstein's island many times.
That scene really illustrates why they called destroyers "wet".ships. the Atlantic in winter must have been brutal topside.
Checkout Dracheinifel's video about the Great White Fleet. Those ships were not only wetter, but he remarks on the toll the Atlantic typically takes of ships in the Atlantic.
The Pacific in a typhoon ain't no bed of roses either, brother. Two actually, in three years. U.S.S. Hoel DDG-13, '71-74.
Life in a Corvette was even worse.

Not like those silly British crews yeah?
I respect your service but didn’t the unterseeboot commanders act unrealistically stupid I would like your opinion
Certainly heckling your enemy by radio would be very difficult if not impossible, and also pretty stupid. Also stupid would be surfacing to fight them unless it was absolutely necessary due to a hole in the pressure hull or a lack of diving control/depth keeping.
Having been in the US Navy up north in the winter I can imagine the terror the sailors must have felt knowing if they were sunk and survived the cold ocean would take them in 3 minutes.
Damn what a place to fight like that. My hat is off to all those merchant marine and navy sailors.
Just imagine those largely British convoys going up to the Arctic Circle running materiel to Soviet-era Archangel.
Not 3 minutes, but still a very short period of time. Even with todays survival suits, you can not last long term period in water that cold.
and no ship stopped to save the survivors
One of the greatest movies I have watched over the past few years.

Thank you for your Service. I want to tell you I remember watching the News with my dad when the Vietnam War was going on. He said a couple of times that you guys and the Korean Men weren't being treated right. He said they had everything they needed and he didn't care who they had to steal it from. He said all they had to do is win. And the Government was stopping the Soldiers from winning and it pissed him off very much. He was for sure on y'alls side. God bless you and again thank you so much for your Service and recognizing my dad. He was the best!
May he rest in peace.
@@kurtsherrick2066, you are totally correct! We were NEVER meant to win Kennedy's war! It seemed that everything was stacked against our men and women all in the name of keeping that senseless conflict going so that Wall Street and the politicians they owned could just get richer and richer. Then Johnson somehow managed to get Kennedy eliminated and really screwed things up by stopping the B-52 bombing missions. Even an NVA General after it was all over made the statement that we had them until the bombing stopped and then they knew it was over for us. So many of my friends and high school classmates never came back except in a cheap, government furnished box! All of those lives wasted for no logical reason. Yes, as a Vietnam era vet (I volunteered twice but my MOS prevented my going) I've heard all of the trivial and tripe comments trying to give some reasons for it but frankly, NONE of them hold much value to me.
God rest his Soul & Thank you for his service, God Bless the Greatest Generation 🙏
Anything and everything Hanks does is worthy of all the acclaim there is.
except for his political ideas...
Or his child- rearing tips.
Grandfather did damage control on a destroyer at Guadalcanal. Not that he was a part of a damage control party, he was just a machinist before the war. Hell of a smart 8th grade dropout! And he was exempt from the draft but volunteered anyway.
RIP Grandpa Tony, April 1914 - September 2006
0:10 This looks like absolute chaos, maybe even Guadalcanal night action level of chaos.
I saw the movie 3 times already. It was a great movie, full of action. It's hard not to like a Tom Hanks movie. He's an awesome actor.
The book it was based upon is quite different. It is narrated in the third person who knows and relates all of the captain's thoughts. It's a powerful lesson in crises management. He's new to the ship and to his crew and he must evaluate and train them while surrounded by all sorts of tactical and logistics problems. And do it with no sleep. If the US Navy actually builds leaders like this at Annapolis, I'm in awe.
As an Annapolis grad I can confirm it was not a fun time.
@Columbo Bumbo A masterpiece of tactical action. Beautifully put. I think it's so intense when the crew responds so quickly and precisely.
Now they affirm their gender identity first
RIP Captain Ernest E. Evans , USS Johnston (DDS 557) and Captain Robert W. Copeland, USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE 413) were such men. Stories of bravery so significant as to be almost unbelievable.

Azka '02 you just said dunkirk has no character development but somehow the characters develop. That doesn’t make sense. And in this film the characters could be copy-pasted onto any sailor from any country. Three whole character traits I could find in this film are 1. The Captain doesn’t sleep a lot. 2. The captains religious. 3. The bridge talker is new because he stutters. That’s it. That’s all we have for character distinction in this movie. They’re boring.
The Cinema exploits of this sea battle is in epic proportion just with this short clip.

The ship performed convoy duty in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, and then was sent to the Pacific, where it performed picket duty off of Okinawa. That is where Ray told me he learned what real fear was, being attacked by kamikazes.

He and his ship also performed escort duty in the Pacific, and picket duty off Okinawa, fighting off Kamikazes. He told that is where he learned what real fear was.

Thank you Tom. Damn what a man!!!
The thing I like about Tom Hanks is he is an every day man caught up in extraordinary circumstances... someone we all hope we would gravitate to if that person was us.
What a brilliant movie ..Loved it ...People just do not understand this Kind of War .. and want Unreal war movies instead of Movies that close on Historical Accuracy !Amazing War movie ..
I love this Actor ..He his just one of the Top actors of all time, Being following his movies since he started in Movie industry , But this War movies , Saving Private Ryan and now Greyhound are jus my Favorites of all time in War movies ....This Movie is brilliant and I am a huge Fan of the WWII Atlantic War Never have seen someone pick up the side of the Destroyer Commanders and Warfare against the U-Boats...This is just a outstanding Movie .. and yes sad he didn't had the chance of hitting the Theaters..

I would have loved watching this movie in theaters.
It’s exclusive on apple tv+
Dedication and focus of the captain to stay awake and attentive during the entire 50 hour duration of the crossing of the Black Pit. Pretty amazing. You could tell that it drained him in the later stages.
Pretty much the deal for any warship's captain. Sleep snatched whenever you could.
Exactly. Lack of sleep was the main challenge, even for the ratings. The smallest Brit protection was the flower class corvette which rolled heavily in most weathers and prohibited any ready. Even the destroyers were fairly undulating.
Prohibited any 'rest'.

The nighttime is the worse for seeing torpedo attacks and finding submarines. Excellent movie!
Love that guys movies. Always tops in his field.

Loved the movie. Picked up subscription just to see it. Tom Hanks did a great job with the character. You could see the weight of responsibility work on him. My father was on a jeep carrier in the pacific and my uncle on a sub chaser in the Atlantic. D-day did in my uncle mentally. He was never "right" afterwards. So many brave men, then and now.
wonderful movie & splendid performance of Tom Hanks
Great movie, I've watched it three times already. Tom Hanks played very well and the fights were staged very cool...
9/10. Great movie. Not much for character development, but it tells its story from a realistic place. You feel like part of Hanks crew, they’re pretty accurate with actual ship speak and tactics and you do see the accumulation effect on a captain his position. One of my favorite WWII movies.
Wow! I served aboard a destroyer during Vietnam, but never faced this kind of threat. My dad served on a destroyer in World War 2, and his ship was severely damaged by a direct kamikaze hit at Okinawa. A bunch of his shipmates died. My dad had third degree burns on half his body. He was a Gunner's Mate manning a 40 mm antiaircraft mount, and was shooting at the Japanese plane as it came in low. He could see the pilot's face, and said he was smiling as he crashed into the ship. He never forgot that creepy smile on the suicide pilot's face for the rest of his life. He said it would frequently haunt his dreams at night.
Some the most hazardous combat duty in the closing months of WWII was being a member of the crew of a US Navy destroyer on the picket line between Okinawa and the Japanese planes coming down from the home islands to get at the fleet which was held stationary in a relatively small patch of ocean by the need to support the Marines and the Army for months. During the war, the effectiveness of the Kamikaze was deliberately downplayed to protect the sailors and because, although they didn't sink any large capital ships they did a great deal of damage to many vessels, including to several fleet carriers. I think a great film could be made about the destroyers on the picket line.
It’s such a pity that your father couldn’t have shot that creepy smile off that kamikaze’s face.
@@RLJmusic4life That smiling pilot may already have been dead. One of the problems of dealing with kamikazes was that even the lightly constructed Japanese aircraft were surprisingly resistant to hits from 20mm and 40mm. Again and again planes which were literally shredded by AA guns and obviously on the verge of disintegrating kept coming on carried by momentum and guided by pilots who were not concerned about making it back home. If they didn't burn, they had to literally be blown apart in order to stop them. It's hard for those of us who weren't there to fathom the psychological effect the kamikazes had on tired and stressed crews who spent hours at general quarters for days on end.
Salute to your father and you!
Liar liar pants on fire
i wish i could watch it in the theater maybe it will play in the drive inn
very silly end : Watch : " Enemy Below " : " Das Boot " : Tom Hanks was great as always .
As a former navy electrician, this movie is SO good. Its unceasingly realistic and captures vividly the intensity, movement and teamwork. It's phenomenal and I love it.
Can you imagine how intense this was. Stuck in the middle of the ocean on a floating bomb...
Or a floating iron coffin as a sub crewman
Don't need to imagine it. While ship to ship combat is far less intense in modern times all naval and Marines when out to sea are stuck in the middle of an ocean on a floating bomb. Even Amphibious assault ships with so few armaments, have 10's of thousands of gallons of various fuels, weapon lockers, ammo for various weapons, weapons/lockers for the Marines and their equipment and, I am not sure about other ships but, I know mine had 7.5 tons of C-4 on it. Not even considering Nuc capable ships and even ships with Nuc reactors.
@@brandonlevy8680 A good example of that was the IJN Taiho. It was hit with just one torpedo from the U.S. Navy submarine USS Albacore but when an engineer flipped a switch the ventilate the ship, those gas fumes from the damaged gasoline stores ripped the carrier apart and then the magazines blew and literally blew the ship's sides out. The same thing caused the loss of HMS Hood. Bismarck hit the ship in her one really vulnerable spot, set off the magazines and the Hood blew up and sank so fast only three of her crew were saved. Look at what caused the deaths of 1177 men on board the USS Arizona. The one lucky bomb landed right on top of her forward magazine and ripped the ship apart with such violence it is said her bow came completely out of the water before settling back to the bottom.
Very exciting but one problem.
U boats didn't target destroyers they avoided them like the plague. As a target they were nearly impossible and killing them was useless. U boats targeted freighters and tankers. Much easier to hit. Much more value to sink and they didn't hunt you down like a ravenous dog.
You are right, however in many cases the Uboat would surface and attempt to sink or finish off the surface ships with their deck gun, specially if they were damaged and unable to dive. So it was not totally impossible several slugfests between sub and ships took place.
@@amramjose true
jose amram and that only lasted until the Merchants were armed with their own guns and escorts(Like Greyhound here) were in greater numbers, not to mention Radar and sonar.
And the US shipyards were turning them out faster than the U-boat fleet would have been able to sink them.
If you look in the records, it was not un-common for a U-boat to sink an escort. Rare, but not un-common. Though full modern (back then) DDs as greyhound would barely have been seen at close escort duties in early 1942. That was a job for ASW trawlers, corvettes and older/obsolete DDs. The latter often having some boilers, guns and torpedo tubes removed for more fuel and depth charges. I have more problems with an unexperienced US-DD leading a concoy in early 1942. That was an all-out British/Canadian job. The troop transport also doesn't fit in. These were done in their own special convoys, usually by fast passenger liners, which could out-run the U-boats.
But the movie was good, all incorrect details aside.
A truly awesome movie. I saw it on a small computer screen so I am sure that a theater would do this movie the justice it deserves.
Finally, somebody who has seen the movie for its real value. There's no character building because it is not needed. It is a movie about the extraordinary efforts of normal, regular people during those times. It focuses on the key elements: intense stress and exhaustion those people were exposed to.
This is a great movie with non stop action!!!
Looks to be a brilliant movie. It reminds me of the 1958 film "The Enemy Below", a tight tense war drama centered more on the entire crew than one person.
Enemy below was one of the most accurate movie of all the time. The technical brilliance of that movie was way ahead of its time.
@@advamalstanly2928 with the great robt mitchum and he was no kiddie fidler
@@mred7030 agree with that.
I agree Mitchum, Hanks and Curt Jurgens, the German Captain in the Enemy Below show the inginuity and marks of leadership. See both.
This movie is nowhere in the same class as Enemy Below or Das Boot for that matter.
4:12.....Catalina's were lethal sub killers.......I love those planes.
So were B-24's. Jimmy Stewart said the B-24 was just as good as a B-17 but the B-17 had a better agent.
a worthwhile movie after a long time. a must watch.
This was one of his best roles. The things they had to go through is unimaginable
Maybe if they keep posting clips I'll be able to see the whole movie someday.
Same lol
or you could spend 20$ and get a firestick like everyone else who didnt pay to see it
@@wassupmypeeps69 It's on Amazon?
@@AgentsofRush Apple TV+
For someone who is not built like a tough guy, Hanks plays tough men rather well.
That's why he's called an actor
Part of Hanks' success and appeal is just that. He plays the ordinary guy forced to step up.
does anyone else love reading the stories in the comments
Fantastic movie! Great action special effects were amazing!
Next up, Hanks will play the role of a captain whose merchant ship gets stuck in the Suez Canal.
Its so satisfying seeing the aircraft take out the u boats in like 10 seconds when it took the destroyers several minutes
the best movie action history war i have ever seen
I'm loving the use of the Bofors guns, don't see that often in movies! They are putting in some work harassing and marking the subs.
It’s just a shame this is Hollywood garbage. A U Boat would never stay at periscope depth when under attack like that or fire a single torpedo at a warship. They always fired a spread of 3 at 5 degree intervals and then crash dived to avoid any surface fire or depth charges. Once again historically inaccurate Hollywood crap.
@@stueyguerreiro Not to mention the rounds couldn't do a thing to a submerged vessel below surface. Same mistake as with Saving Private Ryan opening sequence (D-Day landing).
@@DBSTH0R It at least makes you feel better, I suppose.
@@JohnnyShagbot As an engineer, no feeling were lost or gained over this. ;)
Seems like a stress-free job! Everyone just chilling, having coffee!
I think this movie is excellent, have watched it several times, gripping and suspenseful
