There&#8217;s little doubt that a Hanks&#8217; vehicle will be the barometer for future streaming releases.<\/p>\n<p>    Greyhound is centered on the Battle of the Atlantic, one of the longest and most tenuous battles of World War II taking place entirely on water.<\/p>\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eyzxu26-Wqk\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>    The fight for the Atlantic was the key to ensuring Britain&#8217;s supply chain, mostly incoming from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>    Greyhound is based on the 1955 novel by C.S. Forester, The Good Shepherd. Hanks wrote the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p>    Although the movie isn&#8217;t based on any particular event of the war, it is based on historical events, and the novel was widely considered one of the most well-researched and accurate counts of naval warfare.<\/p>\n<p>    Hanks stars as Commander Ernest Krause, a naval commander on his first transatlantic journey. It&#8217;s the winter of 1942, shortly after the United States joined the great war.<\/p>\n<div>\n    <img alt=\"Through the Port Hole\" data-pin-description=\"Tom Hanks Casts Away on Greyhound In a Tailor-Made Role\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--JAjGtH5u--\/t_full\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246387\/through-the-port-hole.jpg\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/2020\/07\/tom-hanks-casts-away-on-greyhound-in-a-tailor-made-role\/\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--JNoIsGkV--\/t_xlarge_p\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246387\/through-the-port-hole.jpg\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>    Captain Krause is a God-fearing man with a strong moral compass, and that bears heavily on his success during a five-day period in which the Greyhound, his naval command, is under constant siege from a fleet of Nazi U-boats.<\/p>\n<p>    Those are traits that Hanks often embodies with his characters, and if the character from the novel runs parallel to the film, it&#8217;s no wonder that Hanks was eager to write and star in the movie adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>    Given the dire circumstances Krause faces, he not only uses his naval know-how but holds tightly to his convictions. That means making difficult decisions that sometimes run counter to his code that will save the most lives and continue the mission.<\/p>\n<p>    There is a line in the trailer when one of his officers suggests that Krause&#8217;s actions the day before allowed them to live to fight another day. &#8220;It&#8217;s not enough, not nearly enough,&#8221; Krause says in reply.<\/p>\n<div>\n    <img alt=\"Captain Krause\" data-pin-description=\"Tom Hanks Casts Away on Greyhound In a Tailor-Made Role\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--HLPw6kcI--\/t_full\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246343\/captain-krause.jpg\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/2020\/07\/tom-hanks-casts-away-on-greyhound-in-a-tailor-made-role\/\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--sGT71iTU--\/t_xlarge_p\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246343\/captain-krause.jpg\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>    What Krause expects of his men, he expects doubly of himself, surviving on coffee and barely eating during the five-day siege, discovering late in the battle that his feet have been bloodied from his steady attention to the Nazi aggressors.<\/p>\n<p>    While there are stunning special effects and a sense of adventure out on the high seas, Greyhound is a character study of which Captain Ernest Krause stands firmly in the center.<\/p>\n<p>    Once the siege begins, it&#8217;s a matter of survival, and that survival depends squarely on Krause until they can radio for air support and carry on with their voyage.<\/p>\n<p>    As a fan of another adventurous story of survival and character study that Hanks also starred in, I couldn&#8217;t help but compare Krause to Chuck Noland of Cast Away.<\/p>\n<div>\n    <img alt=\"Steady as She Goes\" data-pin-description=\"Tom Hanks Casts Away on Greyhound In a Tailor-Made Role\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--7peQJezJ--\/t_full\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246357\/steady-as-she-goes.jpg\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/2020\/07\/tom-hanks-casts-away-on-greyhound-in-a-tailor-made-role\/\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--OW207rnk--\/t_xlarge_p\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246357\/steady-as-she-goes.jpg\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>    Captain Krause even has a woman he&#8217;s left behind (Elizabeth Shue) and the trinket she gave him before his voyage.<\/p>\n<p>    Cast Away&#8217;s Noland&#8217;s true north was the pocket watch he received from Helen Hunt&#8217;s character before the holiday jaunt tore him away from her, and Krause&#8217;s equivalent is a tiny replica of a naval ship given to him by his Shue&#8217;s Evelyn.<\/p>\n<p>    For both, the trinkets signify the life they left behind and their purpose to return.<\/p>\n<p>    Also similar to Cast Away, Hanks is the movie, and his costar is the water standing between him and safety.<\/p>\n<div>\n    <img alt=\"Battle Damage\" data-pin-description=\"Tom Hanks Casts Away on Greyhound In a Tailor-Made Role\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--63EUBzU4--\/t_full\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246372\/battle-damage.jpg\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/2020\/07\/tom-hanks-casts-away-on-greyhound-in-a-tailor-made-role\/\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com\/iu\/s--q2SLcI40--\/t_xlarge_p\/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420\/v1594246372\/battle-damage.jpg\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>    Stephen Graham, Michale Benz, Rob Morgan, and a host of others are billed as costars to Hanks but they mostly fade into the background. Greyhound isn&#8217;t an ensemble piece or even a war epic as much as it is a view into the human spirit and the will to survive.<\/p>\n<p>    The menacing voice that interrupts the Captain&#8217;s command, a disembodied evil under the guise of a Nazi U-boat captain, only serves to drive Krause to the farthest depths of his soul to protect his men, the commission, and himself.<\/p>\n<p>    The film is also short, coming in just under 90 minutes. That works in Greyhound&#8217;s favor, as it doesn&#8217;t allow the battle to wage on long after Krause has given his absolute best.<\/p>\n<p>    With Hanks&#8217; star power, the limited time commitment, and the worldwide release, it seems a sure bet to do good business for Apple TV .<\/p>\n<p><b>Carissa Pavlica<\/b> is the managing editor and a staff writer and critic for TV Fanatic.
