- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt’s consistent, and there’s enough juice in Hanks’ personal, human-scaled interest in ordinary heroism under fire to make the movie underneath the labels work on its own terms.
- 75USA TodayBrian TruittUSA TodayBrian TruittThe movie is successful at finding little details that make it feel lived-in and authentic.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyGreyhound is a taut action thriller that exerts a sustained grip.
- 70VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanWhen the mortars aren’t firing, the movie ebbs, flows, occasionally sags, and sometimes rivets.
- 67UproxxVince ManciniUproxxVince ManciniGreyhound is an exciting, non-stop battle scene from start to finish. Which might be enough to make us watch it, but is not enough to make us love it.
- 63The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzBut Schneider, whose only other directing credit is the extremely low-key 2009 family drama "Get Low," finds a way to portray the nautical action with clarity and precision. You might not know what Krause and his crew are saying at all times, but you definitely know what they’re witnessing.
- 63Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWhile The Greyhound pays great attention to detail and feels authentic, especially in the claustrophobic and intense scenes in the bowels of the ship, the battle sequences that look like something straight out of a video game dominate the movie and keep us at a safe distance from getting emotionally involved on a level this story deserves.
- 50SlashfilmJosh SpiegelSlashfilmJosh SpiegelWhere previous wartime productions that Hanks helped spearhead had the grit, suspense, and complex characterization that defines great modern drama, Greyhound is a stripped-down touring production with an unexpectedly recognizable lead. It’s a serviceable way to spend 90 minutes, but serviceable isn’t saying much.
