What We Think

Wrath of Man is what happens when Hollywood takes a rare break from checking ideological boxes and just rolls out a classic revenge heist. With few ‘woke’ hallmarks, it delivers relentless action and old-school themes. Not perfect, but refreshingly non-woke by current standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wrath of Man focuses on a straightforward revenge plot, prioritizing character motivation and action over ideological messaging. Casting choices fit the gritty, masculine tone, with little emphasis on identity politics. There’s a clear focus on skill, ruthlessness, and personal morality instead of virtue signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity is front and center, with themes of vengeance, loyalty, and fatherhood driving the story. There aren't any overt efforts to undermine family, masculinity, or traditional values, if anything, these are amplified. Modern ideological subversions are almost absent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film depicts a hard-edged criminal underworld but avoids ridiculing or caricaturing traditional perspectives. There’s an old-school moral ambiguity, with no heavy-handed promotion of current ideological fashions. It’s not interested in preaching; it’s focused on gritty entertainment.
