What We Think

In Harm’s Way is about as non-woke as you can get by modern Hollywood standards. Its focus is on character, honor, and traditional heroism, unapologetically old-school, with hardly a whiff of modern ideological meddling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In Harm's Way prioritizes traditional storytelling, focusing on realism, character development, and skill rather than forcing modern identity politics. The characters are defined by their roles, not virtue-signaling traits, and the narrative steers clear of overtly ideological detours.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds traditional values like duty, masculinity, and the seriousness of war. Family and morality are not mocked; instead, they're central to character motivations. There’s respect for military hierarchy and heritage, with no modern subversions of gender or cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives exist within the narrative, varied personalities, moral ambiguity, and conflicting loyalties. The film doesn’t lampoon traditional values or push a uniform, modern ideology. Debate and pluralism are part of the drama’s core.
