Here is My Movie Review of Devotion 

So basically what happens is that it tells the real life story of Jesse Brown of how he became the very first African American to become a Navy Pilot to fight in the Korean War. That is basically what the story is for the film. 

The acting in this movie is fantastic. I still think everyone gives that they are all and you can tell everyone is having fun in the film. 

However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Jonathan Majors as Jesse Brown. What makes Jesse Brown such an incredible character is that he really wants to prove that he can be the best navy pilot ever and  survive the Korean War. Probably the best moment with Jesse Brown is when he is in the bathroom and having self-doubts and he's worried that he can't fly a Navy plane and not only is it really emotional but it makes sense because he is worried that he'll never accomplish what he set out to do. It is probably the most powerful moment in the entire film. The chemistry between him and Gwen Powell, Christina Jackson Is excellent. 

Glen Powell plays Jesse Brown's best friend Lieutenant Tom Hudner In the film. I have to say he still does a spectacular job as the character. What makes Lieutenant Tom Hudner such a terrific character is that  much like Jesse Brown also wants to survive the Korean War and make it out alive. Probably the best moment with  Lieutenant Tom Hudner is where Where he sees Jesse Brown is crash landing in two the snow and his plane catches on fire he tries desperately to try to get the door open to save his best friend and not only was it really emotional and really tragic But it makes sense because in real life Jesse Brown was killed in the Korean War when his point crashed and Lieutenant Tom Hudner Was  trying to save him because they were best friends. It is probably the saddest moment in the entire film. The chemistry between him and Jonathan Majors is astounding. 

Christina Jackson plays Jesse Brown's wife Daisy Brown in the film. I have to say she still does a marvelous job as the character. What makes David Brown such an excellent character Is that you can see it that she doesn't want her husband Jesse to fly the plane into the Korean War because she is worried that she may not ever see him again. Probably the best moment with David Brown is where she finds out that her husband has died in the Korean War. Not Only was it really sad but you can see  how devastated because she finds out that he has passed away. It is probably one of the most beautiful and emotional and one of the more powerful moments in the entire film. The chemistry between her and Jonathan Majors is outstanding. 

The directing by J.D. Dillard Is fantastic because why I walked about him directing is that he gets the life of Jesse Brown really accurately because all the stuff really happened to him back when he was a navy pilot. I also like how he kept this war movie very serious and not shove in so much dumb or forced humor into it. I think it is just magnificent how he did that. 

So in conclusion this is still one of my all-time favorite war movies. Glen Powell and Jonathan Majors work really well together. The bonding they have in the film is one of the strongest aspects of the entire film. It's kind of a shame that this movie flew under the radar for a lot of people because if a lot of people went to go see this movie or watch it then I bet a lot of people would put it on their best list of 2022 if they watched it on the day it premiered in the theaters. This is easily in my top 10 favorite movies of 2022. Also this is definitely in my top 10 favorite movies of the 2020s. Also this is definitely in my top 10 most underrated movies of all time. If you enjoy the movie Oppenheimer with Cillian Murphy then I'm sure you'll like this one. I did this movie a 10/10.
