What We Think

‘The Prince’ is your classic low-to-the-ground action flick with little to no modern ideological trappings. This one sits firmly in the non-woke camp, a sigh of relief if you’re tired of preachy Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Prince' sticks to a classic action revenge formula. Main characters are cast traditionally, and the story prioritizes grit over any overt ideological point. There’s no obvious privileging of identity over skill or established genre tropes. If anything, it’s old-school - perhaps to a fault, but definitely not for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable undermining of traditional values here. Masculinity is front and center, with a father-daughter relationship driving the action. The film avoids sermonizing or reinterpreting family, gender, or morality. It feels like a throwback, for better or worse.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no clear mocking of alternative views or cartoonish villainy directed at traditional values. The film is so uninterested in making a modern statement that it might feel shockingly neutral (or even retro) compared to today’s standards. Everyone’s just there to shoot or be shot at, not to preach.
