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

"Vengeance" dodges most of the usual woke minefields, opting instead for a satire of modern America that lampoons everyone. While not free from bias, it isn’t a lecture disguised as a movie, just an occasionally snarky comedy-thriller.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Vengeance" mostly focuses on story and character rather than checking diversity boxes or shoehorning identity politics. The comedy and cultural clashes are rooted in character backgrounds, not ideological grandstanding. Any representation feels organic instead of forced, keeping narrative integrity relatively intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film takes some playful shots at both Southern and urban lifestyles but doesn’t aggressively undermine family, religion, or masculinity. Some viewers might spot subtle jabs at traditional values, but nothing overtly disrespectful or revisionist. It critiques culture more for laughs than ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a bit of poking fun at both red-state and blue-state mindsets, with caricatured but not outright villainous representations. While urban perspectives are more prominent, alternative viewpoints are present, albeit not always given full depth or sincerity.
