What We Think

Red Eye is the kind of straightforward, no-nonsense thriller that Hollywood used to make before things got so 'woke.' Identity politics are thankfully left at the terminal gate, leaving us with a suspenseful and refreshingly non-woke movie experience.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Red Eye focuses on an intense, character-driven thriller plot with little to no emphasis on identity politics. Characters are well-defined by their personalities and choices, not by forced identity traits or box-checking diversity casting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, such as bravery and family, are treated seriously. Gender roles are not dramatically subverted, Rachel McAdams' character is capable yet believable, not presented as implausibly flawless or superior.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't center around ideology. There's no obvious mocking of alternative viewpoints or blanket villainization of traditional values. The antagonist is simply a villain, not some caricature of a political opponent.
