What We Think

Tower Heist is refreshingly non-woke by current Hollywood standards, focusing on entertainment rather than preachiness. Identity politics largely stay in the background, making this an accessible, fun heist film without virtue-signaling distractions.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tower Heist sticks to a classic caper formula, with casting choices and character arcs driven more by comedic timing and plot necessity than any apparent ideological statement. Diverse casting feels natural for its urban setting and doesn’t overshadow the story or characterization.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't engage in undercutting family, faith, or masculinity. Male leads play both comic and heroic roles without mockery or agenda-pushing. Gender dynamics remain fairly traditional and unremarkable for the genre.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious push for modern ideological consensus. The 'bad guy' is a corrupt financier, not a stand-in for any traditional values, and the film doesn’t lampoon dissenting views or idolize contemporary identity politics tones.
