What We Think

The Courier delivers a mostly non-woke, old-school action thriller experience. It relies on suspense and competence-driven characters, with little emphasis on social commentary or modern ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Courier keeps its focus on a straightforward thriller narrative. Characters are cast based on their fit for intense action sequences, and identity politics seem largely absent from the story. Character arcs prioritize motivation and competence rather than emphasizing demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no evident subversion of traditional values or institutions in the film. Gender dynamics are present, but they're tied to the needs of the plot, not ideology. The film avoids obvious revisionism or moralizing about religion or family.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't mocked or villainized, and there isn't much overt social commentary. The film focuses on suspense and action rather than pushing a single worldview. It’s refreshingly free of modern ideological groupthink.
