Awake not Woke!

Not as good as the first one. (Spoilers)

The woke parts: The big boss bad guy whom everyone feared was played by Sharon Stone. She played a mentally unstable psychopath who went on tantrums, stabbing and killing at will. When Hutch was about to meet his doom at the hands of Sharon Stone's badassery, he was saved by his marksman wife with a tranquilizer dart gun. This movie was heavy on sequel-overdose. That is, overdoing what made the original good. Hutch is a great character and he had his moments. Odinkirk is pure genius in this role. The same can be said about Chris Lloyd. The writing was lazy. The story came up short. The big showdown was an overdone version of the machine shop scene from the original. This one took place in a rundown water park. My recommendation is go ahead and watch it if it's free and you have nothing better to do. It had its moments.

Nothing woke. This is sort of a Christmas movie I guess. It's a dark comedy but there's more drama than outright comedy. The humor that's there works well and there are some funny moments. I wouldn't even say it has a happy ending though. Don't be scared away by Paul Rudd he's not his usual over the top goofy self and much more toned down here. It's an ex con released before the holidays who's trying to go straight and do right by his family for Christmas. If you want a break from the sappy rom com holiday movies give this one a try.

Mediocre but not bad!

(NO SPOILERS) If you've watched through everything else on Netflix and you're looking for something that will at minimum keep your attention, this isn't a bad choice. If you're looking for a dark interpretation of the standard Santa Clause story, this is at least unique. Woke aspects: Only woke thing I noticed was the race-swapping of Mrs. Clause... however, they entire movie is a strong departure from standard Santa Clause myths and they took liberties with tons of things. (I mean, Santa is a gun slinging immortal with military ties, so I don't think the race of Mrs. Clause is that huge of a deal in such a ridiculous interpretation of the story.) That said, the actress who plays Mrs. Clause does very well. It's a 4.5-5/10.

just like the old pixar movies, aka good animation+nice story+kid friendly

thats is no woke. maybe the fat that the father is the one at home while the mother is the breadwinner(but thats not something that is pushed on your face)
