The <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/top-gun-maverick/" rel="nofollow">Top Gun: Maverick</a>'</em> comparisons are unfortunately hard to shake, but <em>'Devotion'</em> remains a good flick. Jonathan Majors produces a very good performance here, particularly in one or two scenes where he is particularly brilliant. Glen Powell, also in that other 2022 film of course, is good too. I don't think their onscreen chemistry is perfect, but I did enjoy watching 'em and respect their (based on real life) characters. The look of the film visually is pleasant, good to see them use practical effects; aerial stunt coordinator Kevin LaRosa worked on this, having, you guessed it, worked on that <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/top-gun/" rel="nofollow">Top Gun</a>'</em> sequel. Towards the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the music - it sets the tone for the conclusion ideally. Somewhat of a shame this didn't come out a few years earlier or later than it in fact did. I still dig it on its own merits, all the same.
