What We Think

With a grounded protagonist and standard thriller elements, 'Gone' remains refreshingly non-woke. It puts suspense and character above social messaging, making it an easy recommendation for those tired of identity-driven Hollywood scripts.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a determined female protagonist driven by personal trauma, but her abilities and characterization are largely grounded and believable. There is no noticeable forced representation or shift in the narrative to promote identity politics over crime-thriller storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Gone' doesn’t seem to take shots at tradition, family, or masculinity. It’s a straightforward thriller focused on suspense and personal perseverance, not on subverting cultural values or revising history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film presents a female lead, it doesn’t lampoon alternative worldviews nor does it create caricatures out of dissenters. There’s a traditional setup: heroine versus villain. No modern ideological groupthink running amok here.
