What We Think

No wokeness detected here. Crime Story is an old-school crime thriller that keeps its focus on action and character without tipping its hat to modern identity politics. A refreshing throwback.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Crime Story is a traditional Hong Kong action film focused on law, order, and personal struggle, with character development driven by the plot rather than ideological box-ticking. Casting and character arcs serve the story, not forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds classic values like duty, justice, and masculinity. Family and moral responsibility are central themes. There's no apparent attempt to undermine traditional norms or portray them negatively.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are depicted sincerely through complex characters. There’s no push for ideological uniformity, conflicts arise from personal and systemic struggles, not from a modern cultural agenda.
