In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Out for Justice is about as non-woke as it gets. It's a classic tale of gritty street justice, overflowing with unapologetic masculinity, without an ounce of forced modern messaging. Definitely not a product of the current Hollywood climate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Out for Justice focuses on a straightforward revenge-driven cop narrative, with Steven Seagal as the tough, streetwise lead. There is no forced emphasis on identity factors over character skills or personalities. Casting and narrative remain firmly rooted in genre conventions rather than modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Masculinity, family, and traditional values are presented in a positive and unapologetic light. The film practically basks in machismo, with religion, family loyalty, and an old-school sense of justice serving as major motivators, untouched by any subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternatives to the protagonist’s worldview are present, but this is more in the context of classic good-versus-evil storytelling than any modern ideological uniformity. No evidence of demonizing traditional perspectives or enforcing narrow ideological norms.
