What We Think

Hollow Man II isn’t trying to break new ground on social issues, it’s your standard early-2000s thriller with little in the way of woke themes. If you’re after non-woke popcorn entertainment, this one stays well clear of the recent Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hollow Man II is a straightforward sci-fi thriller that sticks closely to genre conventions. There’s little emphasis on modern identity politics, and casting or character development does not appear driven by issues of race, gender, or sexuality. The focus is on the invisible assassin premise and traditional suspense, not forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t really challenge or undermine traditional cultural values. Gender roles, family, and morality play out in a conventional Hollywood manner. There’s no major revisionism or overt attempts to deconstruct cultural foundations, the plot is focused on action and thriller elements.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernible ideological monoculture. Alternative views aren’t particularly present, but neither is there any obvious mockery or villainization. Any lack of pluralism is simply due to the generic nature of the film’s story, not ideological signaling.
