I will always be grateful to Tom Hanks for wandering into a used bookstore in New York City, where (as he explained on Conan O'Brien's sensationally good podcast) he spotted a haunting dust jacket of a lone Navy captain on the deck of his destroyer as a ship burns behind him in the ocean. Hanks bought the novel that was surrounded by the jacket, and then bought the rights to it, and then spent six years writing a screenplay based on it.
The movie that has emerged from this serendipitous shopping expedition is called Greyhound, and it's good—a fast, solemn, tense war movie. But the reason I'm grateful to Hanks is also the reason I was a little disappointed by the experience of watching Greyhound on Apple TV Plus, which is the only place you can see it right now.
