Not Woke

What is this?

'Enemy of the State' places story and suspense front and center, emphasizing skill, agency, and tension without resorting to identity-based casting. Character development is grounded in the plot, not box-ticking representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t take aim at family, religion, masculinity, or tradition, in fact, the protagonist’s home life and moral compass are important to the story. No overt subversions of classic roles occur here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While distrust in government is a theme, alternative perspectives aren’t vilified and debate is present. Traditional viewpoints, technology skepticism, and personal liberty are all taken fairly seriously, more thriller than lecture.
