Unfortunately, despite the no-doubt honorable intentions of writer-star Hanks and director Aaron Schneider, “Greyhound” relies far too much on slick but obvious and overdone CGI and gets bogged down in the minutiae and jargon of naval wartime maneuverings at the expense of viewer accessibility and character development.

Keeling, a Navy destroyer leading a convoy of 37 Allied ships across the ocean as part of the Battle of the Atlantic, which waged from 1939 to 1945 and was the longest military campaign of WWII. Spoiler alert: “Greyhound” never returns to the half-hearted romantic subplot, as we spend the remainder of the movie aboard the U.S.S.
