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

Crank is a classic non-woke action flick: hyper-masculine, politically incorrect, and uninterested in ‘messaging.’ It’s more likely to offend the woke crowd than to appeal to them.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Crank is about as non-woke as it gets. The story is unapologetically centered on its brash male lead, and character backgrounds or identities aren’t forced for diversity points. The film revels in excess, not checking any ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity is on full display, with zero concern for mocking or undermining male traits. No attacks on family, religion, or cultural roots, if anything, it feels like a throwback to pre-woke action films.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative views aren’t really presented, but that’s because the movie is too busy being wild and over-the-top to preach any ideology, woke or otherwise. If anything, it lampoons excessive political correctness by ignoring it entirely.
