Woke garbage!


Actually, I haven't seen it but every movie has a "this movie is woke" thread so I thought I'd break the ice.

I can't stand Woke movies (forced diversity, intersectional feminism, etc.), and I don't consider this movie 'woke', or at least not so woke that it takes away from the story. Is there diversity? Yes, a lot of it. But it doesn't feel forced, except maybe the twins, a little bit, but even that works. Buddy (in this case brothers) interracial duos has been a thing for decades, long before Hollywood became woke, so it's nothing to get in a twist over.
As far as the movie goes, it's pretty good. Someone on another thread described it as Kill Bill meets John Wick, that sounds about right.
Give it a go. As an 'anti-wokie', I recommend it.

I saw it a few weeks ago. I liked it.

It was nice to see Hiro Nakamura (Heroes) and Kimiko (The Boys) as the Ticket guy and concession lady respectively.
Lots of great actors in general. I liked it too.

Women overpowering men in a physical fight was probably the most woke thing.

There are women who could kick my ass.

I just saw it and I thought it was excellent. A lot of fun!

It certainly was a steaming turd of a movie. It was hard to escape some of the wokeness, such as when the character of Lemon getting to survive at the end of the movie just because he's black, it seems. This was in spite of the fact that he was just as big of a POS as all the other characters who died. In addition, the movie just went on and on. It felt like 2 and a half hours, and it appears they made it into an idiotic comedy because they couldn't afford proper realistic special effects.

😄 I actually thought it was one of the few films today that isn’t woke.

I really enjoyed it for that and many other reasons.

Was the black guy's terrible accent a reason you liked it, because it's one of the reasons I did.

Didn’t hurt. 😁
