Jonathan Majors is putting on some serious work. I look forward to more stuff from this guy... he is a work horse.

Between Quantumania and Creed III in February and March of next year his career is going to explode.

I'm looking forward to this. Interesting how I posted this thread back in May and it got zero replies until November with dex14 posting the poster and new trailer. Guess a movie called "Devotion" isn't an interesting enough thread title to get clicks here.

It's a title better suited for Sony's Affirmed Films... even I had no interest when I heard the title thinking there's some underlying Christian themes.

Will see it. Not sure if in theater but at least rental.

It's a good movie albeit a little long. Could have probably cut scenes with the racist Marine and Elizabeth Taylor. And I still think it's mis-titled. I get that it's the name of the book, but it's about as off as Terriers was to the FX series.

I'll probably check this out with my Regal Unlimited Pass.

And we get very little of Jesse's motivations and most of this is seen through the eyes of Hudner. I would have like this more if it was centered around Jesse.

I saw this today and thought it was really good. It was a pretty decent sized audience in my auditorium. Although I saw that this didn't make a lot of money this holiday weekend.

It's a pretty standard story about a friendship between two pilots and Majors character being a devoted husband and father. And it's set in the early 1950s with the backdrop of the Korean War. Powell and Majors both gave good performances. The air sequences looked good and there was some tension. Also, it's based on true events, which I found interesting. Like with most biopics, they gave a summary of what happened post movie before the end credits rolled.

Maybe the title "Devotion" just confused people and some thought this was a Christian themed movie or something? I get it, Devotion is not exactly a sexy title and the two leads aren't huge stars even though Powell was on the biggest movie on the year. But, he's not really a household name. But, I thought he was good here. Anyway, I think it's worth watching. I give it an 8.5 out of 10 and 4 stars.

One thing is for certain, this will never play in China They clearly spell out the Chinese and North Koreans were the villains.

On Paramount+ starting Sunday.

That's weird that it's going to Paramount + But hey if they paid Sony the $$$$, who cares what service it goes to.

If you all have Paramount +, I think this is a worthy watch. It's not some earth shattering experience like Top Gun Maverick, but it's a pretty well made and acted period war movie.

It has an 81% RT score and 92% audience score

Paramount must have home media rights because they are putting out the discs too. It might have to do with this being original setup with STX and all the restructuring they have going on.

I rented the blu-ray from Netflix


I thought since this was PG or PG-13



A rare historical drama that gets released in the theater.

I liked it though maybe it was not as good as Men of Honor which is a similar kind of movie.
