Tom Hanks' Greyhound Still in Apple TV Top 10 Six Years After 2020 Release

MovieWeb reports that Tom Hanks’ World War II thriller Greyhound remains a fixture on Apple TV’s global streaming charts six years after its 2020 premiere, having spent more than 600 days in the Top 10.

Premiering July 10, 2020, Greyhound is based on C. S. Forester’s 1955 novel The Good Shepherd and stars Tom Hanks as Commander Krause. The film was originally intended for theatrical release but went straight to streaming because of the pandemic.

Directed by Aaron Schneider and written by Hanks, the movie is praised for its tension, tight runtime and intense naval battle scenes; the source lists the runtime as 92 minutes. MovieWeb describes Greyhound as a refreshingly old-school WWII thriller focused on duty, sacrifice and survival.

Critics and fans largely agreed on the film’s strengths: it holds a Certified Fresh rating of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes and an audience score of 76%. MovieWeb quotes critic Joonatan Itkonen saying, "Clocking in at a remarkably brisk 85 minutes, Greyhound is a lean and mean action thriller that's more respectable than thrilling," and Alex Bentley calling it an example of how riveting World War II movies can still be.

The article notes Greyhound’s ongoing chart presence but does not specify how long it will continue to rank on Apple TV or whether there are further distribution plans.
