I managed to get both Apple+ nominees watched in the 7-day free trial, and if you're interested, I encourage you to do so as well. Captain Krause (Tom Hanks) receives his first Naval command of the the destroyer Greyhound, the lead for an international convoy of ships to deliver troops and supplies to a beleaguered Britain. They convoy must run through a section of the Atlantic called The Pit, where no air cover is available and German U-boats prowl.
I don't know that we needed another rah-rah WWII movie but I will say that this was a brisk 91 minutes that didn't overstay its welcome. Rob Morgan out-acted Tom Hanks in the quiet dignity department, which is no mean feat. Otherwise, this was a completely typical war movie with heavy religious overtones. It wasn't even as good as The Finest Hours.
