Greyhound : La bataille de l'Atlantique

Even with the frustrating minimalism of "Greyhound," it will be a comforting reminder in a time when it feels like we could all use a bit more heroism.

Written by Hanks, directed by Aaron Schneider and originally scheduled to be released theatrically by Sony, the drama is a minimalist war film that treats combat as a job to be done.

As a warship commander leading a convoy through a treacherous stretch of the North Atlantic, Tom Hanks anchors a World War II thriller that's less a drama than a tense and sturdy diary of the logistics of battle.

Film set to arrive in theaters, on-demand services in August.

To Hanks' credit, his screenplay mostly downplays the heroics while fully acknowledging the bravery and sacrifice (...).

To enjoy GREYHOUND, one should keep their expectations in check.

There are exciting moments, but they're rendered hollow with nothing in the movie to provide substance.
