In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A breath of non-woke fresh air, "The International" delivers a good old-fashioned corporate conspiracy thriller that steers clear of the preachiness and identity politics so prevalent in recent Hollywood releases. Enjoyable for those tired of ideology-heavy storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The International" focuses on a traditional crime thriller narrative, prioritizing plot and character development over social messaging. There’s little evidence of forced representation or characters being defined primarily by identity traits, so narrative integrity is largely preserved.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not overtly challenge or undermine traditional cultural institutions such as religion, family, or masculinity. It mostly centers on crime-fighting elements and the power of financial institutions, sticking to genre conventions rather than ideological statements.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no significant effort to villainize alternative worldviews or force ideological uniformity. The characters display personal motivations unrelated to modern ideological trends, and the villains are tied to crime or corruption rather than outdated social views.
