Greyhound stars Tom Hanks who is outstanding in this movie where he plays an inexperienced captain of a U.S. Navy destroyer escorting cargo ships across the Atlantic where the German Wolf Pack submarines are waiting. It takes place just after we became involved in WW II. The on board action and responses of the ship's sailors are very well done as they come under fire from German subs. I've not seen a WW II navy movie as well done and full of tension as this.

If well done WW II Navy movies interest you, give Greyhound a look. I think you'll like it. ("Greyhound" is Hank's ship's call sign, btw.
