![]() Oh well, it's not terrible but it's far from great. I also feel my fellow audience members were a bit disappointed as well, some checked their phones multiple times and I'm pretty sure I saw someone leave early. They had a great opportunity here to depict the Korean war as well as the story between these two pilots but perhaps with better direction, better pacing, and better storytelling this could've been a stronger film. After all this time being excited for this film I cannot help but feel a little disappointed. ![]() ![]() This film contains all of two battle scenes, in a war film? That seems low. Yet whatever the true history is between the two pilots and however many missions they flew together the film never felt to connect them as true brothers of war as I feel they were intended to be. This is also less a film about the Korean war and more about the relationship between these two pilots who fought in the war. The two actors Johnathan Majors as Jesse Brown and Glen Powel as Tom Hudner both have great chemistry and their relationship is played out well but even with the amount of time they gave to both these characters I just couldn't seem to get attached. While this film offers some great visuals and solid performances from the entire cast it unfortunately never gripped me in any real emotional way. When I first saw the teaser trailer for this film I was extremely excited the history and war film buff in me jumped with joy, "finally a Korean war film" alas it is no 1917 or Dunkirk.
