What We Think

"Stolen" is blissfully non-woke, sticking to a classic kidnapping-rescue formula without ideological detours. It’s a reminder of when movies were more interested in pulse-pounding chases than in preaching to their audiences.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Stolen" sticks to a classic action-thriller formula, with the story focused on a father trying to rescue his daughter. Character traits are driven by their roles in the plot rather than any overt identity politics. Casting appears to favor genre fit over forced representation, with little evidence of ideological meddling disrupting the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes such as fatherhood, sacrifice, and personal responsibility are central to the film. There is no subversion of masculinity or overt undermining of religion, family, or American values. The film feels like a throwback to standard action fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie doesn't showcase much ideological debate, but that's because it's focused on the straightforward action-thriller narrative. There’s no notable villainization of non-woke perspectives or heavy-handed messaging. Any lack of worldviews is pretty standard for this genre, not due to ideological purging.
