Agreed. If Tom Hanks is starring and behind the scenes, I'm going!

I feel the same way, but those CGI ships look lower grade than the CGI in "Titanic" some 20 years ago.

The screenplay is based on a 1955 novel by C.S. Forester (of Horatio Hornblower fame) called "The Good Shepherd" ( link). Sounds like it should be quite the psychological thriller, focusing on the difficulty of command. Hopefully it hasn't got the U-571 "blowhard US makeover" treatment. Filmed aboard the Fletcher class destroyer USS Kidd (filling in for a Mahan class it seems) Not too worried about the low-grade CGI - often in trailers it is of lower quality. Incidentally, it turns out the director was a second-unit director on Titanic. |

The really annoying thing I find that with CGI movies is they try to jam WAY TOO MUCH 'activity' into one screen width making separation of objects such as aircraft or ships seem way to close together. The other factor is that nothing appears to actually move realistically (ie. ships move way to fast through water and aircraft in flight may as well be Star Wars X-wing fighters).

Just watched Greyhound. A solid 8.5/10. Typical Tom Hanks movie it's very good but not a classic. You can certainly feel the cold of the North Atlantic... also an interesting cameo by one of sons,there is some interaction them and it's eerie how much alike they look. A very good way to kill a couple of hours on a cold afternoon.
