Called to Duty

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.

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.

At the end of this movie, they honour the WASP's (WW2 female aviators). I guess WASP was an acronym for the movie. Not since the Valley of the Sasquatch, have I seen such a bad movie but at least I laughed at how bad the Sasquatch costume was. The plot is far reaching, yes it reaches so low it would be difficult to go any lower. The acting was awful, the holes in the plot you could fly a plane through it and let's be honest there was nothing good about this movie.

Not sure what the early reviewers were watching but it was not this movie. Do not waste your time, do not think it gets better and do not pay for it. Even worse they left it open for a sequel - yippee!

Here we have another in the long line of 'female empowerment' movies so popular with fashion-minded Hollywood these days.

Now, I think it is quite appropriate and desirable to showcase realistic female capabilities. However, I think it is getting to the point of fantasy and revisionism when we insist that 'women can do anything that men can do, but better' and try to prove that with manipulation, exaggeration and simple fiction.

So we have an example here of ALL the top air force pilots being women. Of course they are, dear. Another comical example we have is the recently released series Special Ops: Lioness, with the female protagonist physically outperforming navy seals. Of course she can, dear.

PS. I am a (realistic, I think) middle-aged woman.
