Ricochet1991

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

“Ricochet” is mostly a straightforward action film of its era, focusing on personal conflict over ideology. It’s refreshingly light on modern ‘woke’ hallmarks and isn’t interested in lecturing its audience. Not much for the grievance crowd to chew on here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Ricochet” largely sticks to a classic action-thriller formula, with plot and characters driven more by personal vendettas than any overt message about identity. Representation appears organic rather than forced, and competence is shown through struggle and flaws.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculine archetypes and family themes remain mostly intact, though there is some critique of authority (not unusual for the genre). The film doesn’t push modern ideological reinterpretations of history, religion, or gender.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is some cynicism toward institutions but no heavy-handed villainizing of traditional perspectives. The worldviews of the characters show variety, with room for moral ambiguity and debate, rather than an ideological echo chamber.
