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

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is more crude popcorn entertainment than social commentary. If there’s any identity politics, it’s buried under layers of wisecracks and gunfire, not the sort of film begging for a culture war showdown.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard mostly sticks to its action-comedy roots, focusing on over-the-top plotlines rather than pushing identity themes. There’s a strong female lead in Salma Hayek’s character, but this feels more like standard star power than a forced diversity move.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film is irreverent and crass as expected from the genre, but it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine family, masculinity, or tradition. Masculine traits are played for laughs, but not demonized or replaced wholesale.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There isn't much deep ideology here, just gunfights, explosions, and jokes. Alternative viewpoints aren't really addressed, but the film doesn’t seem interested in moralizing for one side or another.
