This looks like a movie I'd like to see
Dan Carlin of Hardcore History has an hour long interview with Hanks about the film, the book, and how Hanks is a big fan of Carlin. You can get it here.
Here's a short description of the real action in the North Atlantic. DD-215 USS Borie versus U-405. http://cdrsalamander.blogspot.com/2020/03/fullbore-friday.html
An excellent movie, well worth signing up for Apple Plus for $10 a month. Think of it as less than a movie ticket. Then look at what else they have and if you don't like it, cancel.
I enjoyed it, though Tom Hanks' performance was not inspiring. I thought one of his other many Captain roles - Captain Phillips - was a wonderful job. A workman like appearance in this one, and the special effects are amazing.
"Based upon the novel 'The Good Shepherd' by C S Forester"
ReplyDeleteOkay. They didn't have me before, but they do now.

I actually bought the book after listening to the Dan Carlin interview.
ReplyDeleteDon't have Apple TV and have no plans to get it so could be while before I see the movie.
Not a Hanks fan but the wife has a free year of Apple TV after buying her Mac. One of the best movies I've seen in quite a while.

Used to like Tom Hanks, until he opened his mouth on politics.
