Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses tightly on classic themes of revenge, guilt, and masculinity. Characters are realistically portrayed, with narrative driven by personal motives rather than ticking any diversity boxes. There’s little to suggest forced representation or prioritizing identity politics over storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family bonds, codes of honor, and masculinity are central. The film neither mocks nor lectures about established cultural values. Instead, it explores them in a gritty, sincere way, with no agenda to undermine cultural traditions or rewrite gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are treated with nuance. There’s no scapegoating of traditional perspectives or one-dimensional villains. Conflicts feel organic, rooted in character rather than ideology. Moral complexity is allowed without shoehorning in a modern ideological lens.
