What We Think

Angel Has Fallen is refreshingly non-woke by modern Hollywood standards. It’s an old-school action flick that favors grit, heroism, and family over lectures and checklists. If you’re tired of identity-driven storytelling, this one won’t set off your woke-radar.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Angel Has Fallen sticks closely to a traditional action-thriller formula. There’s little emphasis on identity politics or forced representation; characters are developed through skill and backstory, not check-the-box diversity. The story keeps focus on intrigue and action.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays masculinity, sacrifice, and family loyalty in a positive light, with the hero motivated by honor and duty. Traditional values are central and not undermined or mocked. There’s no sign of cultural revisionism or anti-religious sentiment here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives do exist, as seen in the depiction of corrupt bureaucracy alongside heroic figures. The film doesn’t caricature traditional views or enforce ideological uniformity, most characters are just trying to survive a high-stakes conspiracy.
