What We Think

In our view, 'Executive Decision' is refreshingly non-woke, staying focused on straightforward high-stakes action without layered lectures or identity sermonizing. It's a product of an earlier Hollywood, more interested in thrills than boxes checked.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Executive Decision' focuses on suspense and action, with character development driven mostly by professional roles and skills, not identity checklists. There’s no discernible effort to shoehorn cast diversity for its own sake, and the leads are chosen for merit in the story’s context.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculine virtues like bravery, sacrifice, and competence are central, and there's no undermining of family, faith, or Western cultural norms. If anything, the film is an artifact of a pre-woke Hollywood, respecting cultural gravity and seriousness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film lacks explicit pluralism, alternative worldviews aren't mocked; rather, they're handled via the classic terrorist-vs-hero trope. It never feels like the villains exist to score ideological points against tradition, just your standard '90s action fare.
