Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mechanic: Resurrection is a straightforward action film, a rare breed these days. Characters are largely cast for archetypal roles, not to tick diversity boxes. Identity politics do not overshadow or warp the narrative. The story relies on competence, skill, and some good old-fashioned stunts.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity and themes like loyalty and personal responsibility are front and center. There’s no effort to undermine family, religion, or classic hero tropes, though the film doesn’t deeply address those areas either. It sticks to a tried-and-true action blueprint.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized, mostly because the film doesn’t bother with hot-button ideological debates at all. It avoids modern political morality entirely, giving us a refreshingly apolitical narrative by today’s standards.
