Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"We Own the Night" is a gritty crime thriller where the focus is on family, loyalty, and moral struggle. Character identities revolve around their choices and backgrounds rather than box-ticking for diversity or ideology. There is no obvious forced representation or unrealistic empowerment.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film openly explores traditional masculinity, family legacy, and duty, with men in complex, leading roles. Religion and family serve as anchors, not punchlines. There’s no attempt to subvert or modernize classic values for contemporary ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film paints a world of moral ambiguity, not ideological lectures. Alternative perspectives are not cartoonishly villainized. There’s actually a diversity of thought in character motivations, conflict, and redemption.
