1/10
Laughable attempt at best...
25 July 2023
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.
