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

Eagle Eye is comfortably non-woke, prioritizing action over identity politics, and keeping its focus far from today's ideological flashpoints. Traditional values stay mostly untouched.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Eagle Eye focuses on a high-stakes techno-thriller plot rather than checking diversity and inclusion boxes. Character motivations and arcs are traditional, with little attention drawn to race, gender, or identity over the story itself. There’s no sense that casting was driven by anything other than fit for the roles, so this one pretty much flies under the woke radar.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

No glaring attacks on traditional family, faith, or cultural norms. Masculinity, responsibility, and patriotism are depicted in a classic action-movie style. While technology is portrayed as dangerous, foundational institutions aren’t mocked or subverted. Traditional heroism remains intact, with thriller beats taking the front seat.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t really a focus, everyone’s too busy running from killer drones to espouse sociopolitical lectures. There’s no villainization of dissent; the enemy is a rogue AI, not a caricature of tradition. The film isn’t interested in exploring controversial modern themes.
