What We Think

The Contractor is a refreshingly non-woke action thriller. Instead of checking boxes, it tells a grounded, character-driven story without dragging in modern ideological baggage. It's a throwback to when thrillers were about, you know, thrilling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Contractor is mostly a straightforward thriller focused on a disgraced soldier trying to save his family. Identity politics take a back seat, and characters are portrayed based on skill and motivation rather than a checklist of modern ideological boxes. Diversity is present but doesn't hijack the plot or feel shoehorned in.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is rooted in themes of masculine struggle, loyalty, and family duty. Traditional values like perseverance, sacrifice, and the challenges of military life are front and center, without significant subversion or mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of a heavy-handed ideological approach or the villainization of traditional worldviews. The plot stays focused on action and moral ambiguity without turning dissenting views into cartoonish antagonists.
