I never expected Hollywood to release a movie like Greyhound in 2020. A no bullshit adaptation of a 1950s book.
In greyhound the only female character is the protagonist 's love interest, which is briefly shown in the beginning to humanize him and give the viewer a sense of "what he's fighting for".
I wouldn't be surprised if the woman isn't mentioned at all in the book (which I haven't read), but I don't mind having this kind of wallflower character in a movie adaptation. They did the same thing in "In the Heart of the Sea", where Owen's wife and family are briefly shown in the beginning to flesh him out as a character (the good family man).
