What We Think

"Homefront" is a breath of fresh air for non-woke viewers: standard action, respect for tradition, and no forced messaging. It’s about as unwoke as contemporary action thrillers get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Homefront" sticks to classic action-thriller tropes with a clear good vs. evil dynamic. Characters are driven by personal motives and not by modern identity politics. There's no evident forced representation, casting feels organic to the story’s rural American setting. The protagonist’s competence is rooted in his background rather than identity factors.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats family, masculinity, and moral codes with respect. The main character is depicted as a protective father and ex-cop, embodying traditional virtues. Gender roles generally align with conventional action storytelling, and there’s no effort to undermine religion or family values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film largely avoids injecting modern ideological talking points, it certainly doesn’t go out of its way to promote diverse ideological debate either. Still, it doesn’t mock or villainize traditional perspectives, instead presenting them as a matter of course.
