What We Think

Wild Card delivers an old-school crime thriller without falling for modern ideological trends. It's refreshingly non-woke, keeping its focus on character and story over agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wild Card sticks to a gritty, noir-inspired crime story centered on a flawed but competent male lead. Character backgrounds and identities aren't emphasized over personality or skill. The narrative remains focused on plot and character motivation, not overt ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional elements, masculinity, personal honor, and redemption, drive the story. There's little in the way of subverting gender roles or reinterpreting cultural themes for a modern agenda. It’s a throwback to a more classic approach to storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't mocked or villainized. The film avoids woke caricatures and presents characters as individuals rather than representatives of ideologies. Internal conflict is present and genuinely explored.
