Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'3 Days to Kill' mostly adheres to classic action-thriller storytelling, with Kevin Costner as a grizzled operative. Identities and backgrounds aren't forced to the foreground; the film focuses on character and plot rather than ticking diversity boxes. Narrative integrity remains strong without obvious ideological intrusions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family values, fatherhood, and redemptive masculinity are central themes. The film doesn't lampoon or subvert masculinity, religion, or family, instead playing them straight. Some might say it's vintage in its treatment, hardly a woke parade here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no mockery or villainization of traditional perspectives. Characters from different backgrounds are present, but there’s no ideological browbeating or monoculture. Alternative worldviews aren’t demonized, nor is there heavy-handed messaging.
