Movie Review: Greyhound (2020)

[Mk VII]

From what little I've seen of it on Youtube, where it fails is in the Germans using silly suicidal tactics which no genuine submarine commander would ever have used.

From what little I've seen of it on Youtube, where it fails is in the Germans using silly suicidal tactics which no genuine submarine commander would ever have used.

I don't remember them using suicidal tactics in the movie and I've seen it several times now,, but of course you are getting a highly edited, out of context, trailer version on YouTube. There were a couple of situations in the movie where the sub was damaged and rose to the surface. What I do remember was the sub commander howling over the radio and taunting the convoy screen, which the film company admitted wasn't historical but was a plot device used to humanize the enemy.
