Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wake of Death delivers a straightforward revenge thriller without sacrificing its narrative for modern ideological statements. Characters are defined primarily by their roles in the crime-action plot, not by identity factors. No signs of forced representation or unrealistic treatment of diverse characters here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't undermine traditional themes like family, masculinity, or morality. In fact, it leans into these, focusing on a father’s vengeance and loyalty, a very non-woke foundation. No subversion of gender roles or gratuitous cultural revisionism present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The worldview sticks with classic action genre conventions. While alternative perspectives aren't a major focus, they also aren't villainized or caricatured. There’s no modern ideological uniformity or overt mocking of dissenting values. Just a straightforward revenge story.
