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

Fair Game barely registers on the woke scale. It’s an unremarkably traditional 90s explosion-fest, more guilty of cheesy dialogue than of social engineering. If you’re tired of recent Hollywood trends, this one is about as non-woke as they come.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Fair Game sticks to a straightforward 90s action formula, focusing on plot and spectacle rather than modern identity-driven narratives. Cast choices and character arcs are conventional (Cindy Crawford as the female lead, William Baldwin as the cop with a gun). No sign of characters being defined primarily by their race, gender, or sexuality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film depicts traditional gender roles, protective male cop, female lead in distress, which some might even call dated. Family, religion, and morality aren’t really addressed in any subversive way; if anything, it’s a pure, old-school action flick built on familiar tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized, if anything, this film doesn’t really have much ideological content. Villains are standard-issue Eastern European bad guys, not stand-ins for any modern political theme. No heavy-handed messaging detected.
