Pha-Q woke's Reviews
The only real woke is some DEI token and overrepresentation in background characters, at least in the first 30 minutes I managed to watch. There are some great actors here yet somehow the acting is all barely passible. I put the blame squarely on the director. The story is completely implausible stupidity. Now that would be fine if the comedy was a bit on the over the top side. But it's not, the entire thing is played straight and serious and there is nothing funny anywhere. It's just boring bland slow moving stupidity.

DEI black over representation. There is a small child that looks to be maybe 8 that is said he feels like a girl on the inside. This character later
goes full transformer and thinks he is a woman named tinkerbell. The lead male and the transformer kiss. This started out very promising at the beginning then just kind of fell apart. The acting is mostly decent and the FX are pretty good. This is part of the Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) that is supposed to be dark versions of if the fairy tales were real. However non of the neverland aspects are real. It's just a standard serial killer slasher movie using the names from Peter Pan story. If you take out and change all the peter pan references it doesn't change the movie at all. This one is a disappointment in general made worse with all the woke nonsense.

Nothing woke. This one actually holds up better than the first. The acting and story are well done and most of the corny dialogue from the first
one are gone. The music is still a bit cheesy but it's 1990 what can you do.
Still it is enjoyable and worth a watch.

This unfortunatly doesn't hold up so well. The acting is over the top in some places but not really bad. The biggest problem though is it's just
so stuck in the cliché cheesy 80's. Scenes that were normal at the time are just laugh out loud now. The sappy music, the bad slow motion overdramatic sequences. Corny dialog. The story and writing are fine and it's not a bad movie by any means, it just isn't nearly as good now as when it came out. The only thing I am dinging it for woke is the speech by Chavez about the treatment of his Indian tribe by the army and the white rich guy. While it doesn't claim a broad generalization and refers a singular incident and person the entire speech just feels so forced and unnecessary.

This feels like one of those stupid stoner comedies from the 90's. You know the ones, where everyone is high all the time and the entire cast
is a bunch of bungling morons getting into silly over the top situations with lots of slapstick humor. This shoulf of been much better than it
actually is. It's the typical fake kidnapping gone wrong plot you've seen a dozen times before. The acting is ok but it's just not that funny. This is another movie that's not so much a bad movie as just mediocre. There is a little too much overrepresentation DEI casting and while pretty much every character is a moron, the ridiculous 4' 80lb angry black female cop is always dead serious and never does anything wrong. Her character is completely out of place in this movie. If you really love those old stoner movies you may get some enjoyment out of this just don't expect much.

Nothing woke. Nice low budget western. Excellent cinematography. The FX are well done, the acting is good, the writing is well done and not idiotic. The only negative I can really say about this is the irritating son. Why make this character so annoying and stupid? Other than that this an enjoyable not woke western.

Nothing really woke. This is another one of those movies thats not so much bad as it is just boring, bland and pointless. There is no real
story here. There may not of even been a script. The whole thing feels like someone found an old video they shot in the 90's of a local baseball
game then edited it into this and called it a movie. It's marketed as a comedy but there is nothing funny about this at all. Go down to your local
park or ballfield and sit in and listen and you will get the exact same experience.

The only thing woke I saw was the out of place Black 'reverend' hero DEI character. Granted i mercifully shut this down after about 15 minutes but
that was all my sanity could take. Horrible acting and dialoge to match the cliche story and terrible FX. This is another one of those bad 90's
DTV movies. How is stuff this bad still getting made.

While it's not really woke it should be noted there are mostly only 3 characters in the majority of the movie and the 2 white males are both
criminals while the female is the good one. Most of the movie takes place on a plane with 3 people. The fx are average and the story is nothing original. The acting is not very good and the lead actress in particular is terrible. She has zero emotional range whatsoever and her lines are delivered in a monotone blank face delivery the entire movie. The humor is dumb and doesn't work and the writing as per usual is garbage. The very beginning of the movie the marshal doesn't bother to check and verify the pilots ID even though she is transporting a witness who is going to testify. The assassins get the upper hand on the marshal than rather than deal with her or the witness he's supposed to kill just starts talking and ignores her. Than 2 minutes later the marshal gets the upper hand and rather than secure the assassin turns her back on him to talk to the witness. I gave up at the 45 minute mark as it seemed
to not be getting any better.

Nothing woke. This is a low budget film with a very limited cast. The acting is pretty good and the atmosphere is great. There are some
very creepy moments and few jump scares. Most of the horror relies on building tension and genuinely unsettling scenes. The story is pretty good and the first hour is great. Unfortunately once the full story and motivations are revealed the last half hour falls apart and the writing takes a turn for the worse. Character motivations don't make sense or just don't seem to exist. It's an average horror movie that could of been a lot better if the final 30 minutes hadn't fallen apart
Spoilers.................................... Why when Yana finds all the photos, teeth and
blood vial inside the creepy statue does she just put everything back and act like it's no big deal and just goes to bed. Darcy just happens
to go upstairs and just happens to sit in front of a trap door. A trap door that is never shown or mentioned until that particular moment in the movie. A trap door that goes nowhere and serves no purpose other than a conveniently placed deathtrap.
