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

Double Impact is about as non-woke as you can get, dripping with 90s action cheese and totally uninterested in modern Hollywood social messaging. A testosterone-fueled roundhouse kick to today's woke trend.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Double Impact is a classic JCVD action flick with no trace of forced identity politics or overemphasis on character identity. The story centers around family, revenge, and martial arts brawls. Characters are defined by their grit (and muscles), not box-checking. No narrative corners are cut to shoehorn in modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie reflects traditional 80s/90s action film values: brotherhood, vengeance, and personal responsibility. It spotlights toughness, masculinity, and the importance of family ties with no attempt to mock or subvert these elements. No cultural revisionism or undermining of traditional values here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt moralizing or ideological lecturing. Viewpoints around family, masculinity, and justice are pretty clear and mostly non-woke. No caricatured villains standing in for conservatives or traditionalists—just good guys and bad guys with the usual action film motivations.
