Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Across 110th Street is a gritty crime drama that focuses on realism and complex characters over identity politics. The film's narrative isn't sacrificed for ideology, characters are flawed and driven by circumstance rather than by modern representation mandates.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film depicts tough, masculine police officers, struggling families, and harsh moral choices without undermining their core values. While it's not a glowing tribute to tradition, it doesn't actively subvert or mock traditional norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Characters portray a range of perspectives and motivations, reflecting the complex social and racial realities of 1970s New York. There is no overt ideological groupthink or caricatured depiction of dissenting views.
