A nice movie that serves to rebuke elements of our ageist throwaway culture.
Yes, there are mild elements of wokeness to this film. Mostly what you’d expect of a cast of characters set in New York, in a female-run tech startup.
But, despite those relatively subtle woke notes, this film is an endearing story which (maybe unintentionally) serves to demonstrate the value of traditional masculinity in the form of Robert De Niro’s character, who is a retired old-school businessman whose steady demeanour and wisdom bolster Anne Hathaway’s character as he guides and surreptitiously mentors her into becoming a more fulfilled and quietly confident version of herself. In addition to the lead man being cast as a quiet, competent, and steady figure, this film also shows the value of age and wisdom, in a culture which far too often spurns the old and glorifies the young.

No Woke, Classic 80's Entertainment.
Just good entertainment. Great 80's classic though the end gets a little corny.

No Woke, Just Terrible
No redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bad acting, bad writing, bad cinematography. Whoever chose the music score for this should never work in film again.

Mostly fashionable billionaire bashing
This is mostly fashionable billionaire bashing plus the apparently compulsory super-powerful female characters who win out over ineffectual men. Otherwise it’s well-acted, well-written, with some good comic set pieces.

Younger audiences will enjoy
There was no LTBTQ agenda. No leftist hating on religion or calling God a “myth”. No slamming of right wing political supporters. So why a 2 in wokeness? Over representation of mixed couples. Something not common in reality, but in this film 100% of all middle school couples were mixed. That includes the ones that asked other students out for the dance that was not a part of the main story. It is similar to Hollywood trying to show a disproportional amount of gay or trans people to influence the audience into what they should do instead of us making our own choices without influence.
With that said, this didn’t bother me that much as I don’t have an issue with mixed couples, but just the Hollywood presentation of it to the masses. The acting was fine, and the story on the cheese side, but enjoyable and think the younger crowd will really enjoy it. There was also only one curse word that I noticed, and a reference to waiting until marriage for the kiss. So a clean movie which can be hard to find.

Bearable
Great except for the woke crap. While the premise of an action hero stuck in an old dude's physique is cool and the action scenes are very well done, it gets a little annoying partway through. There is plenty of checkbox casting of black dudes in Russian gangster society and other woke-ass crap, and of course if there are any bosses on the American side they have to be black too. It's not the race stuff that's annoying so much as it's unrealistic and obviously shoehorned in there to make left-asshole-licking Amazon sponsor happy.
Other annoying elements include 20-year-old supergenius feminist spy hackers who of course "has friends in the Pentagon."
There's also another "poor illegal immigrants" storyline shoved in there. Although the action is happy to attack a group of random drunks just for getting on a bus, he inexplicably won't defend his family from getting beat up during a home invasion. He's perfectly fine to let his son get punched and kicked, why? because poor brown people are doing it. He finds them and takes back his stuff from their home, but since the criminals have a baby, he doesn't even give them a scolding. Very unsympathetic. But hey, illegal immigrants yay, right?
The director doesn't speak English that well, either, since there is a number of scenes which are not only inexplicably in English, but in bad English, and need to be fast-forwarded to get through.
But watch it during the action scenes, ignore the rest, and you might just be able to get through it.

No points for historical accuracy
Why even make a period film if you need to "woke" it out? In an interview, the director O’Connor said that his film is “not a documentary," but also that he tried to stick as much as he could to the facts he found. Then why was this -actually REAL plot - lead by a CIA agent who is the very epitome of a modern, bossy, ball-busting feminazi who looks young enough to be his daughter? That one character was fabricated out of thin air simply for the sake of woke-washing what might have otherwise been a reasonably enjoyable movie. So yeah. While there isn't any weird racism, no leftist political lectures, and no LGBTPedos, there is an unbearably unwatchable core element to the characters that throws all potential historical realism under the bus.

Not bad
Decent film with no wokeness. If you like monster movies and bugs don’t gross you out, then you will like this film. Good acting, decent story, and woke free.

Horrible Continuation of the Story.
Terrible acting, bad writing and story. Laughably bad action scenes. All the usual feminist nonsense, all women strong and smart, all men just big dumb muscle. The lead female is just a horrible Mary Sue.

No woke, just screwball
Way back in the past before woke was invented, they had a thing called comedy. Robert DeNiro and the underrated Charles Grodin star in a screwball buddy comedy about a bounty hunter come to bring an escaped criminal back to town. No politics, no racism, no forced diversity casting, no feminazis, no LGBTPedo. A lot of fun.
