What We Think

The Accountant is a refreshing non-woke outing by Hollywood standards. It prioritizes character and story over message, avoids forced representation, and respects traditional values without making them the butt of the joke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Accountant focuses on its story and main character’s unique abilities rather than ticking off identity boxes. Characters are cast based on fit for plot and theme rather than for forced diversity points. The film’s plot progression and dramatic tension are built on realistic, personal growth instead of outsider virtue signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, such as family loyalty and masculine responsibility, are significant to the story. Masculinity is portrayed as both a challenge and a source of strength, without being mocked or undermined. There’s no major subversion of cultural traditions or attempts to rewrite foundational norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little overt promotion of a single ideological view. The film doesn’t go out of its way to villainize traditional values or dissenting perspectives. The range of beliefs and motivations among the supporting cast offers a reasonably balanced worldview.
