What We Think

"The Firm" is a throwback to when thrillers just wanted to thrill. With minimal emphasis on identity politics, cultural revisionism, or ideological echo chambers, it’s about as far from "woke" as you can expect from a mainstream legal thriller.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Firm" keeps its focus on suspense and legal intrigue rather than prioritizing modern identity politics or forced representation. The characters’ backgrounds are not the driving force, skills and choices are. There's little evidence that narrative is sacrificed for ideology, making this about as non-woke as it gets by today's standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the book does touch on corruption in powerful institutions, it doesn't undermine traditional values like family, religion, or gender roles. Mitch’s marriage and motives actually strengthen these concepts. You aren't going to find much subversion here, just good old-fashioned suspense.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Most characters operate within a traditional moral framework, and dissenting worldviews aren't villainized, unless you count the mob, which is fair game. There's no dogmatic ideological push, just a straightforward thriller where nuances are about legality and morality, not identity politics.
