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

Assassins is a relic of the pre-woke era, a straightforward action movie built on classic genre blueprints without needless identity themes. It's almost refreshing these days to see a film focused on story rather than ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Assassins focuses on traditional action-thriller storytelling, prioritizing character skill, tension, and rivalry over any kind of identity politics. Casting and character arcs are driven by competence and narrative fit, not forced representation or modern ideological rewriting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not aim to undermine classic cultural themes, masculinity, honor, morality, and personal codes drive the action. There's no sign of subverting gender roles or rewriting history for a modern agenda, just classic 90s action fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse perspectives aren't front and center, but the film avoids lampooning traditional values. No ideological uniformity or cartoonish villainization of alternatives; it's mostly about individual rivalry, not societal lectures or monolithic messaging.
