What We Think

In our view, “Eye for an Eye” is about as non-woke as they come by modern standards. The film prioritizes story and moral debate over ideological lecturing. If you’re tired of identity box-ticking, this movie’s old-school edge will be a breath of fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Eye for an Eye” keeps its focus squarely on character motivation, justice, and revenge rather than contemporary identity politics. Characters are defined more by their actions and situations than by ideology or fashionable casting metrics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of family, motherhood, and personal responsibility are central. Masculinity and femininity aren’t mocked or subverted; instead, the movie explores the emotional impact of trauma through realistic family dynamics, something you rarely see in today’s preachier offerings.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film gives a fair amount of screentime to competing philosophies on justice, law, and morality, showing there’s no easy answer. Perspectives sympathetic to vigilantism and traditional values are given sincere treatment, sidestepping the usual villain caricatures.
