What We Think

The Jacket is a mostly non-woke, genre-driven thriller that avoids the typical ideological trappings of modern Hollywood. If you want to have a break from heavy-handed messaging and just enjoy a mind-bending story, this film is about as safe as it gets these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on psychological sci-fi and thriller elements rather than modern identity politics. Casting choices and character arcs are not framed around contemporary diversity checkboxes. The narrative stays rooted in its genre conventions, and character depth is built on personal trauma and drama, not ideological signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes revolve around trauma, memory, and reality without making any overt statements about religion, masculinity, or traditional family structures. There is little evidence of purposeful undermining or subversion of traditional values. The movie avoids modern cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie offers a range of characters and psychological interpretations, with no clear push toward a single modern ideological narrative or obvious mocking of alternative viewpoints. Any absence of diversity in views feels in line with the film's story and tone.
