This makes the Midway effects look like they were done practically.

Looks like absolute dog shit.
No wonder it's been in post-production forever.

Ladies and gentlemen your 2020 Best Actor winner.........but not for this.  Observations: Stephen Graham, nice to see him. Are people going to finally admit that Tom Hanks doesn't have to "go dark" or "play a different role" to be just fine? Because that is the stupidest sh it I ever read on this board - and I read it a lot on here and IMDB - he's gonna have a big year and a nomination/win for News Of The World by just playing nice and playing nice here too........and that's coming off playing Mr. Rogers for fncksake. He's 63, this is who he is..... |

It's not easy to consistently play good guys, and it's not like he's playing the same character over and over again. Mr. Rogers isn't the same thing as Captain Richard Phillips for example. They're both different kinds of heroes. |

Parker will me monstrous - but the arguments against him are grossly cynical "well he hasn't been nominated forever so he better change if he wants that 3rd Oscar!!" - that is ridiculous, actors hit a wall for nominations - that's why no one has 21 like Streep - and like I said he'll get two in two years and maybe win by playing to his strengths. What people said about Hanks needing to "go dark" is the most pandering sort of Oscar-bait commentary.......... It would be like saying, in 1950 "No one cares about Gary Cooper if he's not going to play a serial killer now - do something different!  It's just...........misguided and removed from the reality of his work and career imo. |

It's just...........misguided and removed from the reality of his work and career imo. All good points. I don't think Hanks needs to play a "mass murderer" to win his third Oscar. He finally got his sixth nomination for playing Mr. Rogers (mind you it was a supporting role). I'm not gonna predict News of The World for best actor yet (it's early), but just because he's playing a person who ends up saving somebody, doesn't mean his character won't be morally complex or different. I mean he did all surprise us at the end of Captain Phillips. Who knows, he might bring that same sort of "pathos" to the entirety of News of The World. I just think sometimes people misread Hanks as an actor. He's considered a national icon because of how likable he is, and that can also be his greatest burden, but people forget even when he's in his "good guy lane", there can be some pretty great performances that come out of it. |

Great title, mediocre trailer.

This looks so visually unappealing. The 9 out of 10 CGI shots don't help.

Hanks wrote this so, judging by the trailer and the previous movies he wrote, this is going to be mediocre.

I was half expecting an OysterSharkPlankton to appear from the depths and a SyFy Channel logo to pop up at any moment.

Pretty much. Test screening must have been bad or something. Like I've been saying, these VOD releases will be based on which movie the studios will allow on the service cause the box office potential is low. |

Hanks's Agent: Hey Tom, word of mouth's out that people think Greyhound's gonna be a flop. This could hurt.
Tom Hanks: Oh, don't worry -- I've got a backup plan. (smiles evilly at vial marked "COVID-19" in his hand)

I actually haven't watched the trailer yet, despite reactions I'll prob give this a chance. Seems like it might be a type of endurance performance from Hanks.... Also one of the editors (Sidney Wolinski) edited like all the best Sopranos episodes.
Out July 10th - only 90min !!

Just saw this.
Not bad. Not bad at all, actually. I'm not a fan of war flicks, although some of them are exceptional. This one, I enjoyed.
Action packed and suspenseful, with great music and sound.
Something like 7/10.

Not picking on iheart here BUT just sayin this whole thread didn't age well - this is 77% on RT - 87% audience score. 108 ratings........sometimes you can never tell about trailers. This thread is a hot mess of people talking about box office and VOD and acting like insiders  The dude is a beast in this way.....still picking to win his 3rd Oscar this year too. Kiss the ring .........and I'm not even that big of a fan either but the disrespect he gets is pretty ridiculous.........  |

Kiss the ring .........and I'm not even that big of a fan either but the disrespect he gets is pretty ridiculous......... I wasn’t trying to come across as an expert lol. I saw it early and was not here for it. Assumed it would be panned since no one I talked to at the screening like it. It was bad, pushed back FIVE times and even sold by the original distributor, so it’s reasonable to assume it tested very poorly. And even with this, it’s one point away from a yellow score on MC. I think it’s clear that the film had significant issues that it seems like they may have been able to work out. Regardless, I really like Hanks, so I’m happy my expectation critically were off here. Should add to his already strong goodwill leading up to News of the World |
