What We Think

D-Tox is an old-school thriller with no notable woke elements. It centers on classic heroism and avoids the modern trappings of relentless identity politics. For those tired of today’s ideological Hollywood trends, this is a refreshingly non-woke watch.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

D-Tox is a straightforward thriller focused on traditional storytelling and character development over identity politics. Casting sticks to genre conventions, and characters are written for their narrative roles, rather than as ideological statements. There's almost no emphasis on diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film reinforces classic values of courage, resilience, and overcoming trauma, with a mostly traditional (and masculine) portrayal of its protagonist. There’s little to no subversion of gender roles or historical revisionism present in the story. It’s about as non-woke as you can get for a modern thriller.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not push any political or social ideology; instead, it remains firmly in the realm of action and suspense. Traditional moral worldviews are present, and there is no notable caricature of dissenting perspectives. There’s actually a fair amount of diversity of personality among supporting characters.
