What We Think

'Snake Eyes' is a straightforward crime thriller with little in the way of 'woke' signaling or agenda-driven storytelling. Its focus is on suspense and character rather than modern ideological themes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence that 'Snake Eyes' (1998) makes casting or storytelling decisions based on identity politics. The film’s focus remains on plot, suspense, and character flaws, rather than shoehorning ideological themes or identity checkboxes. Narrative feels organic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t take jabs at tradition, family, masculinity, or religion. Nicolas Cage’s character is a deeply flawed man, but the story doesn’t seem interested in critiquing larger cultural foundations or subverting old-school values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious ideological monoculture in 'Snake Eyes.' Characters have varying motives and moral stances, and the film doesn’t preach any particular worldview. Traditional and alternative views are present without caricature.
