Called to Duty

I'd like you to picture the scene in Home Alone when the McAllister parents have realized that they've left their son at home. The cheapskate uncle says it. His inflection and intonation. That's how I say it.

It doesn't make anyone feel any better when they can't leave a positive review. Never before have I created an account on a website for the sole purpose of leaving a comment or a review. Ever.

Because of this movie, I have to break that 25-ish year streak of not falling into that trap. I don't like trashing movies, as they're collaborative projects, and who knows where the faults lie in what ends up being a "bad movie".

No details, no spoilers, no likes versus dislikes... suffice it to say that this movie is a project that should have been abandoned long before someone was able to cast it.

The all-female jet movie, titled "Called to Duty," initially held promise with its terrible groundbreaking concept, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver on multiple fronts. The film is marred by glaring issues, including subpar production quality and cringeworthy acting displayed by the entire cast. Even after reading some seemingly biased positive reviews, the movie's disappointing performance couldn't be overlooked. Attempting to salvage the experience, I resorted to skipping scenes, but it did little to ease the burden of enduring the film's shortcomings.

Despite the commendable concept of an all-female jet movie, "Called to Duty" struggles to soar to greater heights due to its lackluster execution. The potential for greatness is evident, and with significant improvements in production values and acting, this film could have been a remarkable and empowering experience. Alas, as it stands, "Called to Duty" remains a missed opportunity, leaving audiences with a sense of disappointment and a longing for what could have been.

This movie is bad just bad. I dont know how anyone can rate this higher than a 3. Somehow from the beginning . Just awful intro music that this was not gonna be good. But I gave it a chance as much as I could stand to at least I didn't make it too far into the movie before I could see that this movie was not well made. It didn't seem like anybody could act at all in some aspects it looked like a homemade movie. This is one of those movies thats going to be popular on RiffTrax. It was almost laughable, and I couldn't see wasting anymore time on it. Somehow I get the feeling that some of these early previous reviews are somehow biased. I know this seems like a very harsh review but it's my honest opinion ( I don't like misleading reviews) , don't waste your time.

It should come as no surprise that I hadn't heard about this 2023 action movie titled "Called to Duty" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down to watch it.

Initially, I figured that this movie was going to be a female-lead cash-in on the "Top Gun" movie success. And without having heard anything about the movie, I didn't really know what I was in for.

And I managed to endure a staggering 32 minutes of absolute boredom, cringeworthy dialogue, and rubbish storyline. Writer Bobby Hammel put together what can only be described as a dumpster fire attempt of a movie script for director Ashley L. Gibson to bring to the screen.

The character gallery in "Called to Duty" was every bit as cringeworthy and shallow as the dialogue, so at least those two things went hand in hand.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Called to Duty". And after what I witnessed in the 32 minutes of mind-boggling boredom that I sat through, I can't say that I was impressed with the wooden, rigid and amateurish performances. The dialogue was delivered with the elegance and grace of a coal shovel in the hands of wooden marionettes.

Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this airplane crash of a movie. It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

My rating of "Called to Duty" lands on a one out of ten stars.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, the writing was terrible, the acting horrendous and I don't care what the producers, director, writers, everyone involved in this garbage intended, it is seriously insulting to the men and women in the armed services. These people should be ashamed of themselves and not allowed to do anything in film again, in spite of the fact that they're clearly intending to do a sequel. Rather than ratings of 1-10 (should really be 0-10) you should allow for negative ratings because this movie is absolute junk, a waste of time, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WATCH THIS UTTER GARBAGE!
