Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on blue-collar antiheroes and allows the main characters' personalities and skills to drive the story. There’s little sign of forced diversity casting or characters shoehorned in for ideological purposes. The plot thrives on old-school grit and personal stakes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculine traits aren’t mocked, they’re the core appeal. Family, loyalty, and personal codes matter, and there’s no effort to undermine classic values or rewrite history. The movie pays homage to genre conventions without any apparent lectures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the main viewpoints root themselves in rough, masculine blue-collar life, the film doesn’t overtly mock or villainize alternatives, mainly because they’re not part of the story. There’s a lack of overt ideological messaging or monoculture.
