What We Think

Extreme Prejudice is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets; it keeps to classic action conventions without indulging in current social ideologies. Rugged, unapologetically old-school, and blissfully free of today’s narrative lecturing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Extreme Prejudice sticks to a straightforward, gritty action narrative and prioritizes classic storytelling over identity-driven casting or messaging. Character development is rooted in traditional masculine tropes rather than modern social agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film emphasizes traditional masculinity and themes of duty, friendship, and betrayal. It doesn’t undermine family, religion, or historic values, the West Texas setting is as old-school as it gets. No subversion or revisionism to be found here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized. While the military and law enforcement are central, they aren’t caricatured. The story focuses on personal choices and loyalty, not political or ideological battles, refreshing compared to modern fare.
