I just get fired up with there are historical films done wrong.
And they were talking Das Boot in this thread, and Tom Hanks, so kinda hoped to be proven wrong, but not to be the case.. This thing isn't 5% of what Das Boot is.. Das Boot was a real movie..
Das Boot was excellent but it's not without it's issues and the ending was entirely predictable.

In reality the U Boat would have never gotten off the bottom of the ocean. (When they were hit near Gibraltar)
So they go through all of that out at sea and get smashed just after they get back to their base? (Were the writers asleep?)
And of course the Captain dies tragically and alone on the wharf.

IMO Greyhound is a more satisfying movie than Das Boot. Not perfect but a decent effort.
