What We Think

From Paris with Love feels defiantly non-woke, offering old-school action, macho banter, and little regard for modern Hollywood identity politics. It’s reminiscent of an earlier era when movies prioritized entertainment over ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From Paris with Love puts traditional action and buddy-cop chemistry front and center. Character dynamics are based mainly on personality and skill, rather than identity factors. There’s little evidence of casting or story decisions dictated by ideological checklists; it's a throwback to classic popcorn action with few distractions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film revels in old-school masculinity and doesn’t seem interested in lecturing the audience about family, gender, or religion. Traditional morality and bravado are unapologetically showcased, with no attempts to undermine or mock these foundations. It feels like a film made before Hollywood’s full-on woke era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't really the point here, bad guys are just bad guys, without much political or social preaching. There's no overt villainization of traditional values, and the protagonists hardly spout modern ideological buzzwords. If anything, it's refreshingly un-self-conscious.
