What We Think

Cold Pursuit is a refreshingly non-woke entry, sticking to classic genre tropes and avoiding contemporary ideological pitfalls. It’s a gritty, no-frills revenge thriller that isn’t trying to reshape the culture with every punch thrown.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story centers around a classic revenge plot, focused on a working-class male protagonist. There is little evidence of identity-based casting or ideology overriding character depth. Characters are flawed and face real consequences, which keeps things grounded.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, masculinity, and responsibility are depicted earnestly, with the protagonist motivated by the loss of his son. There’s no overt subversion of gender roles or attempt to undermine conventional values; the setting and characters are rooted in gritty realism without any modern ideological overtones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While there is some dark humor at the expense of various groups, dissenting and traditional perspectives are not villainized, nor are modern themes heavily pushed. The film is more interested in revenge than in moral grandstanding or political statements.
