What We Think

'36th Precinct' is refreshingly non-woke, a no-nonsense cop drama where the only agenda is gritty realism and tough moral choices. If you've had your fill of box-ticking and lectures, this film's throwback sensibilities are a breath of fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'36th Precinct' is a gritty French crime thriller focused on realism, moral ambiguity, and classic genre tropes. Identity politics and 'diversity hires' simply aren't on the radar. The story is driven by character flaws, ambition, and corruption, good old-fashioned human messiness.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film maintains traditional portrayals of masculinity, depicting flawed male leads in a brutally competitive, morally grey law enforcement world. Family and loyalty are at the core, and there's zero hint of modern ideological revisions to French cultural norms or values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews abound, corrupt cops, idealists, cynics, and opportunists all share the limelight. No one is outright villainized for holding 'traditional' opinions, and the moral conflict is genuinely pluralistic rather than dogmatic.
