What We Think

‘The 15:17 to Paris’ delivers an unembellished account of real-life heroism, steering far clear of modern “woke” trends. It’s refreshingly non-woke, with strong patriotic, faith-based, and traditional values at its core. A real departure from Hollywood’s current direction.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film tells a straightforward, true story, focusing on the heroism of three American men who stopped a terrorist attack. Main characters are presented with their flaws and growth, and identity factors do not overshadow the narrative or character development. No evidence of forced representation or ideological detours.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional American values such as faith, patriotism, family, and personal courage are celebrated. There's no subversion of gender roles or negative framing of religion or masculinity. If anything, these cultural pillars are front-and-center in the plot.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t mock or villainize dissenting viewpoints, it's focused on heroism and unity. No ideological orthodoxy is forced on the viewer; alternative worldviews aren’t depicted, but the film stays on topic rather than moralizing from a political angle.
