There must be something about actor Glen Powell that casting directors associate with the heavens. He’s played astronaut John Glenn in “Hidden Figures,” voiced a NASA official in the animated film 'Apollo 10 1⁄2” and has two roles this year as a hotshot Navy aviator.
It’s not a typical biopic with lots of flashbacks. In fact, there are none. We meet a gruff Brown after he has endured all manner of racism — hazed, bullied and forced to repeat Navy tests multiple times. His commanding officer refused to pin his lapel wings at graduation. Such experiences he reveals in off-hand comments. He has written every slur and demeaning putdown he has been told and repeats them in a mirror for motivation.
The rest of the cast includes a nifty but small part for Joe Jonas, showing lots of charismatic promise, and Thomas Sadoski as the aviator’s commanding officer. He plays it like a cool assistant professor at night school who is likely to turn his seat backward during a lecture to “rap with the kids.”A tentative friendship blooms between Brown and Hudner, who sees in the Black airman a striving pilot and an admirable man.
