What We Think

“Line of Duty” is about as non-woke as it gets these days, focused on action, not preaching, with classic heroes and minimal identity politics clutter. If you’re tired of Hollywood’s ideological sermonizing, this is a refreshing throwback.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Line of Duty” sticks to a classic, high-stakes action formula. Characters are cast primarily for plot function, not to check identity boxes, and there’s no overemphasis on race, gender, or sexuality at the expense of story or realism. The film focuses on suspense and police drama rather than pushing ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like duty, heroism, and flawed masculinity are present and respected. Family, moral ambiguity, and the drive to do what’s right remain central, with no significant subversion of gender roles, religion, or cultural foundations. It’s refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t demonize traditional perspectives and doesn’t rely on caricatured villains with ‘the wrong views’, it’s just cops, bad guys, and action. There’s no noticeable agenda, and viewers aren’t bludgeoned with one worldview. Several perspectives get a fair shake, without modern ideological baggage.
