What We Think

'Collide' is about as non-woke as modern Hollywood gets. It's an old-school action flick focused on entertainment, not ideology, refreshing for those tired of films making a political statement every five minutes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Collide' is essentially a straightforward action thriller. Its casting, character development, and plot focus on adrenaline and romance rather than modern identity politics or forced diversity. There's little evidence that narrative is sacrificed for any ideological messaging, the film is more concerned with car chases than casting checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like romance, personal sacrifice, and loyalty drive the film. Masculinity is neither mocked nor subverted; if anything, classic action tropes are front and center. There's no deep exploration or undermining of religion, family, or traditional morals, just your standard good-guy-versus-bad-guy setup.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Viewers won't find much in the way of modern ideological messaging in 'Collide.' There’s no clear villainization or caricaturing of traditional ideas. The movie doesn’t try to weigh in on contentious social debates, it’s content to be popcorn entertainment without lecturing its audience.
