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

"Ticker" is as non-woke as they come, it’s old-school action, focused on explosions and standoffs, not on lecturing the audience. A relic of a less agenda-driven Hollywood era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Ticker" is a fairly by-the-numbers early-2000s action thriller, with little focus on identity politics or forced diversity. Characters are defined more by their roles in the plot than by any ideological identity markers, so narrative integrity is more or less intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s minimal, if any, subversion of traditional values or gender roles here. The film sticks to familiar action-movie archetypes, and does not seem interested in critiquing family, religion, or masculinity. It’s your basic macho cop-vs-terrorist fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews or values aren’t really brought up, everyone is just trying to stop the next bomb. No overt moralizing or one-sided ideological messaging to speak of, which is almost refreshing in hindsight.
