If Greyhound is even close to Red October in terms of film making and story, I'll probably find it difficult to turn off as well.

Agreed about Red October - hell, I watched most of it for 1,000th time just yesterday. It's one of those movies like Die Hard or Aliens, that I'll watch if it's on no matter how many times I've seen it (I guess I should add Silverado to that list, since I just watched it again this evening). Also, Red October came out while I was still in the Navy, and the portrayal of Navy ships and personnel is spot on for the time period. Back then that was generally not the case.
Greyhound is closer to the most recent Midway than Red October, but it's still quite enjoyable. I would have had no problem paying theater money to see it.
