Called to Duty, the new movie by director Ashley L. Gibson, is a sincere attempt to tick all the points on the checklist of an aerial combat action movie, inspired by movies such as Top Gun and its sequel Top Gun: Maverick. Although the movie says it is inspired by the women who were part of the ‘Women Airforce Service Pilots,’ aka the Wasp unit, which was a vital part of the American military during World War 2, the scenario and the characters do not seem to be affected by the gravity of the theme. Sure, the contemporary premise of the film has to incorporate modern behavior and relatable jargon, but the finer nuances of the right to equality are missing, which ironically is the point the film hammers onto us in almost every scene.
