Woke free on intial viewing.
This is a classic 80s style action movie plot, with modern day fight choreography. I didn't detect any woke traces here, some may say the character of Nik being a strong fighter because she is female and shouldn't be able to take on some of these guys, but there was no woke messaging behind that. They never elevated her above anyone, or made Chris Hemsworth weaker to make her look good, it was purely a movie expecting you to go with it, and she takes just as many hits as everyone else, she isn't a super woman.
There are some ridiculous elements to the movie that it expects you to just accept, for example (mild spoilers) the montage before he goes on the mission. Having barely survived his wounds in the last movie, Tyler has to recover. It takes him 9 months, but at the end of the 9 months he accepts this job and does a montage to train. It never shows him really struggle in the montage, he just does a couple manly things in the snow ala Rocky 4 and its done. It never really shows him struggle, this could be cheesy but the overall plot is serious, so shifting the tone a bit would have worked. Also he has his arm in a cast for those 9 months, and the movie could have used that previous injury during the main plot for tension but it never did.
The action is really good and easy to tell what is happening. The themes in the movie isn't super important but it does deal with fathers and father figures and their importance, but its surface level.
Worth watching if you miss the golden era of action films.

Throwback to the action movies of the 80's with NO WOKE!
I really liked the first movie and this one even stepped it up a big notch! Made me feel like I was watching an old Schwarzenegger or Stallone movie from the 80's when the REAL action movies came out. Chris Hemsworth really has a perfect action series going with this character and could easily turn it into another John Wick or Mission Impossible franchise.
No wokeness to be found here, yeah there's a strong woman on his team but she gets her fair share of hits and knock downs. Just as much as Hemsworth or anyone else in this movie. Awesome popcorn action flick with the good guys going to save a family caught in a bad situation and running from the bad guys the whole time. I HIGHLY Recommend this one!

Old School Non Woke Action Movie
No woke that I noticed. Great action scenes, very good acting all around. This feels like a visceral brutal action movie from the 90's. Very fast paced and entertaining.
