What We Think

"Loose Cannons" is a prime example of current cinema’s infatuation with identity and the deconstruction of tradition. It doesn’t offer much in the way of pluralism or character arc beyond its ideological focus, making it a textbook, high-woke film.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Loose Cannons" puts identity front and center, revolving around the protagonist's sexual orientation and his struggle against traditional family expectations. Character arcs and familial conflict often take a backseat to social commentary, with identity driving much of the plot and resolutions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film seems to actively critique traditional family structures and conservative Southern Italian culture, presenting them as obstacles to personal freedom and happiness. Masculinity and religion are positioned as stifling rather than enriching, a common theme in modern cinema’s push for so-called progress.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, such as upholding tradition or religious convictions, are mainly shown through unsympathetic or unflattering characters. There’s little genuine engagement with conservative viewpoints; dissent is usually met with mockery or simply steamrolled by the ‘right’ kind of progress.
