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

Unhinged largely bypasses the trend of wokeness in Hollywood. It delivers a suspenseful, if brutal, B-movie experience without shoehorning modern ideological agendas into the narrative. For those tired of 'message movies,' this one stays refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Unhinged focuses on a straightforward story of road rage without obvious prioritization of identity politics or forced representation. Characters are depicted with flaws and motives driving the plot, rather than ideological symbolism. No Mary Sue treatment here, everyone gets their fair share of trouble.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film makes no significant effort to undermine traditional cultural values. Masculinity isn't pathologized, and family dynamics are present and realistically portrayed. There’s no glaring revisionism or negative depiction of tradition, religion, or morality within the plot’s chaos.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized, if anything, the film steers clear of any overt moral grandstanding. Characters' motivations are personal rather than political, and the film avoids ideological preaching. No lectures included; this is a good old-fashioned thriller.
