Dig deep down into some bad movies and you occasionally find a good idea at the center. Civic Duty isn't one of those movies. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Civic Duty tantalizes with "is he or isn't he" questions about Gabe's true identity without ever positing a final, and what would be an ultimately unimportant, answer. full review
