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

Army of Thieves brushes up against the edges of woke territory with diverse casting and modern assumptions but avoids soapboxing. It's more of a safe, generic popcorn flick than an ideological sermon, definitely not a non-woke classic, but not a full-throttle lecture either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Army of Thieves sometimes leans into diversity territory with its international cast, but identity rarely overshadows personality or role competence. The story mostly focuses on the skills and quirks of its characters, not their demographic boxes, making the ideological overlay present but not overwhelming.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There's little real engagement with traditional themes like family, faith, or masculinity. The film sidesteps core cultural topics, neither mocking nor upholding them, settling for a light, surface-level Euro-heist adventure instead of going deep on anything classical.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not outright mocked, but the film operates in a world where contemporary values are simply assumed. There's no meaningful conflict over worldview, but at least the film doesn't go out of its way to bash the 'uncool' or 'old-fashioned.'
