What We Think

Hangman is a throwback to the days when crime thrillers just wanted to thrill. If you’re searching for phone-in wokeness, you’ll be disappointed, this movie keeps its focus on suspense, not social activism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hangman sticks to a classic crime thriller formula, prioritizing plot and suspense over identity-driven storytelling. The characters are defined more by their jobs and flaws than by modern identity checklists, making this a mostly non-woke approach by today’s standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little effort here to subvert traditional family dynamics, religion, or masculinity. The film’s grizzled detectives and dark tone lean on tried-and-true genre conventions rather than pushing new social narratives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized, if anything, the movie barely engages with modern ideological debates. It would be hard to find anything resembling social preaching in this gritty procedural.
