Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Leo" sticks to its genre roots with a focus on classic action storytelling. There’s minimal evidence of forced diversity or out-of-place identity politics. The lead’s motivations and character arcs are rooted in personal struggle and redemption, rather than any sort of ideological box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While there’s the usual cinematic violence and some modern storytelling flair, the film doesn’t go out of its way to subvert masculinity, family, or traditional values. In fact, family and protection are strong motivators. There’s little in the way of undermining cultural foundations here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t villainize dissenting perspectives or turn traditional values into punchlines. Characters have personal motivations, and there’s no obvious ideological chorus or collective groupthink imposed on the audience. Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked or present merely as caricatures.
