Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

VFW keeps its focus on gritty, old-school action with a group of veteran characters who genuinely feel at home in the setting. Diversity or identity themes aren’t shoehorned in, these characters are who they are, and story takes precedence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually celebrates camaraderie, sacrifice, and old-fashioned toughness. Masculine virtues and traditional bonds like brotherhood and honor are front and center, with little sign of subversion or mocking of these values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed villainizing of dissent or obvious ideological filter. The story is about survival, loyalty, and duty, worldviews feel organic to the characters, not prescribed by modern social agendas.
