What We Think

Miami Vice (2006) has almost no 'woke' hallmarks, focusing instead on old-school crime drama tropes, style, and flawed but interesting lead characters. Definitely one of the less woke offerings from 2000s Hollywood.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Miami Vice (2006) largely sticks to gritty crime storytelling, focusing on its lead duo's competence and personality rather than identity. Forced representation or ideological tinkering with character backgrounds is minimal. The film feels more interested in moody style and criminal intrigue than using its plot for modern messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film neither undermines nor overtly glorifies traditional institutions like family, masculinity, or religion. It portrays morally complex characters, but this is a genre staple, not ideological subversion. Some could argue it’s nihilistic, but it’s far from woke messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional law enforcement perspectives are present, and there's little effort made to villainize alternate viewpoints or to enforce ideological uniformity. The film's worldview is more world-weary than activists’ soapbox.
