Devotion
1950. Ensign Jesse Brown and Lt(jg) Tom Hudner join Navy Fighter Squadron VF-32 at roughly the same time and Brown is assigned as Hudner's wingman. They are quickly the best of friends and always look out for each other. Later that year war breaks out in Korea and VF-32, onboard the carrier USS Leyte, provides air support. Their missions are vital to the war effort and extremely dangerous.

Devotion is a crowd pleasing inspirational drama that depicts the true story of Korean war heros Jesse Brown (Jonathan Majors), the first aviator of color to complete the Navy’s basic training program, and his wingman, Tim Hudner (Glenn Powell). It’s pretty standard fare as far as inspirational true stories go, but does have some beautiful aerial sequences that look fantastic on the big screen. The element that really stands out here is the friendship between Brown and Hudner. Powell and Majors have chemistry for days and it truly carries the film. It is the hook that gets you emotionally invested in this story. Worth checking out in the theater.
