Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Shortly after landing a job, Terry Allen is laid off, starts looking for another circa post September 11, 2001 media frenzy and paranoia with President George W. Bush stating that grief has turned to anger, anger to resolution, and that there are thousands of terrorists in over 60 countries ready to strike. With increasing reports of identity theft, the involvement of wealthy & educated foreigners in terrorist activities, Terry starts suspecting his new neighbor, a middle-easterner, who he stereotypes as 'raghead', 'camel jockey', and 'sand nigger'. His wife, Marla, does not share in his bigotry, but he believes that she has turned her attention from rock-stars to Jihadists. While looking for employment, as well as a loan to purchase a house, he also contacts the Federal Bureau of Investigation as he feels he has sufficient evidence that his new neighbor is structuring money, experimenting with chemicals, and associating with other middle-easterners for devious reasons.
Leave your thoughts about Civic Duty.
| Monsters and CriticsRon Wilkinson"Rear Window" updated to post 9-11 corporate downsizing has too many mixed messages to convey the simple fear of a classic thriller. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThis little paranoid thriller...does a superb job exploring how middle class feelings of entitlement to the American Dream are reflected in post 9/11 racial stereotyping. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile the film doesn't fully succeed in its striving for a Hitchcock-style ambiguity in its storytelling, it is consistently engrossing in its exploration of the fine line between civic duty and vigilantism. |
| Reel.comJim HemphillA provocative, unsettling tale about a powerful nation on the defensive. |
| Newark Star-LedgerLisa RoseCivic Duty sends you home depressed, but at least it makes you think. It's a breed of film that's rare to find on the summer movie slate. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirIt's a gloomy, intense and effective little picture, without being the least bit original. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellA sharp 9/11 twist on Rear Window paranoia, Civic Duty is all the more effective for its chilling plausibility. |
| Entertainment InsidersEric LurioKrause and his character are the entire movie. Watching him fall apart is fascinating and the ending has a particularly nice, if expected, twist. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsTerrorism can make you crazy. Or more accurately, U.S. media hype about terrorism can drive you to believe. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersMatchett, Schiff and Naga all contribute solid support, while Krause is downright exceptional as the nondescript accountant suddenly falling into media-fueled paranoia. |
