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

Passenger 57 is a classic action flick that steers clear of the “woke” traps that plague modern Hollywood, focusing instead on excitement and strong characters over identity politics or ideological lecturing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Passenger 57 keeps its focus on high-octane action and suspense, not forcing identity politics into the story. Wesley Snipes is cast for his action star chops, not as a statement about race. Characters are defined by their actions, not by boxes checked off an HR spreadsheet.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no effort at mocking or subverting traditional family structures, masculinity, or religion. In fact, traits like bravery, competence, and self-reliance are celebrated, especially in the lead character, making this one feel refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t center its plot around contemporary ideological battles, and alternative worldviews aren’t ridiculed. Villains are villains because they’re bad, not because they hold traditional views. There’s no heavy-handed message hammered home.
