Summary
Based on a true story, two U.S. Navy fighter pilots, Jesse Brown, the Navy's first Black aviator, and his wingman Tom Hudner, forge a deep friendship while training and then deploying to fly combat missions during the Korean War. Their bond is tested by the dangers of carrier aviation and the brutal conditions over the Chosin Reservoir.
Devotion (2022) is a film IMDb files under the action, biography and drama genres.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 334 of whom clear the calibration test. 7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 169 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 171 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Devotion lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 169.
