What We Think

Murder at 1600 is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets: a straightforward thriller with no apparent concessions to modern identity politics or ideological posturing. A refreshing watch if you’re tired of today’s checklists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a standard thriller plot with character traits based on profession and ability, not modern identity politics. Casting appears merit-based and character flaws are integral to the story, suggesting minimal narrative compromise for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and American institutions such as the presidency and law enforcement are largely respected or, at worst, presented neutrally. No revisionist takes on religion, family, or masculinity present themselves in any significant way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film features competing perspectives and moral ambiguity within the plot. There’s no overt promotion of a singular ideological worldview, and traditional dissenting views aren’t caricatured or villainized beyond standard thriller tropes.
