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

Project Power tries to balance blockbuster fun and modern messaging, but the scales tip heavily towards the latter, resulting in a film that sometimes feels more focused on current ideological trends than organic storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Project Power sprinkles its story with identity-based themes and diverse casting that sometimes take center stage over organic character development. The film features a young black female lead whose drive and skills come across as somewhat over-the-top for her circumstances, although the script doesn’t completely sideline realism or tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While not a full-blown takedown of tradition, the film does downplay traditional family structure and leans into social commentary on systemic issues. Masculinity isn’t exactly demonized, but it’s largely reframed or sidestepped in favor of alternative narratives and themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Social issues like exploitation and inequity are front and center. Traditional perspectives, such as trusting authority or respecting established systems, are painted in a negative light, while the moral high ground is mostly reserved for those pushing for change, with limited sincere debate.
