In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is practically allergic to wokeness. This is a straightforward, politically incorrect ‘90s dark comedy that seems blissfully unaware of today’s identity-driven trends. If only more comedies were made like this!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a dark comedy revolving around mistaken luggage, mobsters, and absurd situations. Characters are driven by their roles in the plot, not by modern identity politics. There is no evidence of forced representation or narrative sacrifice for ideology; instead, it sticks to classic comedic tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no obvious undermining of religion, family, masculinity, or tradition. The humor is mostly slapstick and situational, not cultural deconstruction or revisionism. It’s very much situated in the irreverent ‘90s comedic style without any progressive rewriting of basics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not push one worldview or villainize alternative perspectives. Characters are played for laughs without promoting or mocking real-life ideologies. If anything, it’s ideologically neutral or old-fashioned in its comedic setup.
