What We Think

'Double Jeopardy' is about as non-woke as it gets by today’s standards, a straightforward thriller focused on personal stakes, not identity messaging. A refreshing throwback to when films prioritized story over sermon.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Double Jeopardy' keeps its narrative focused on suspense and personal revenge rather than checking off identity boxes. The casting and character arcs are organic, and the lead's abilities feel grounded and earned rather than bestowed for symbolic reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects traditional family values (the protagonist’s quest is rooted in motherhood and betrayal) and doesn't attempt to undermine masculinity, religion, or heritage. Gender dynamics are relatively traditional, staying clear of trendy subversions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no apparent campaign against alternative viewpoints or insistence that every character hold progressive moral views. The story is about individuals, not political causes, and diverging worldviews aren't demonized or sanitized.
