Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Saint" is a classic late-'90s action thriller. The focus is squarely on intrigue and character-driven plot, not identity politics. Casting is merit-based, and character development doesn't pander to current ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film operates within a traditional action framework: masculinity, romance, and morality aren't subverted, mocked, or reinterpreted for modern sensibilities. There’s hardly any rewriting of cultural or historical realities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dissenting or alternative perspectives aren’t villainized for ideological reasons. Characters and worldview debates are motivated by the plot rather than identity or ideology; there’s genuine conflict and pluralism.
