Pha-Q woke's Reviews
A Bit Of A Disappointment But Not Bad
No woke at all. Acting is pretty good but it leaves a lot out and makes a lot of changes from the novel. There is very little horror and even then its watered down as is expected from a 1979 tv movie. Still worth a watch but if you've read the book it is a bit disappointing.

Generic, Boring, Bland With Bad Casting
Checks most of the DEI boxes though there are white males cast the females are of course the focus. The female POC Interpol agent with the useless male underlings is pretty obvious as well. The movie itself is terrible. Bad boring generic story and writing. The acting is mediocre at best. The action scenes are as bland as possible. Kevin Hart is badly miscast in the role and just can't pull it off at all. There as so much better heist movies out there.

Second season ruined it.
First season was pretty funny with nothing to overtly woke but the second season goes straight to black victimhood and white people rascist. Also all the humor goes right out the window with it. Pass on this one.

Woke DEI Gen Z Nonsense
Checks every DEI box. Gay and lesbian characters. Mostly non white characters. All of the straight white males are betas or bad. The usual Hollywood version of 'strong feminist characters'. Acting is some good, some bad. The writing is terrible and mostly makes no sense. It's the typical gen z garbage. Go watch the originals instead. Even the 3rd one
is better than this.

Entitled Feminist Ruins It
All the usual feminist garbage. A stupid amount of DEI hires and mixed race couples. All the men are stupid sexist and racist. The acting is ok and there are some actual funny parts but the lead character is just so annoying, entitled, and unlikable. She's supposed to be 34 but acts like an idiot early 20's moron and uses every stupid social media and leftist buzzword you can thing of. She's just so irritating and punchable It ruins the entire movie.

Slow, Dull and Boring.
Two mixed race couples and all men are useless or bad. Climate alarmism while not woke is political propaganda. The acting
decent but the writing and directing are terrible. This is another arthouse drama pretending to be a genre film. Painfully dull and boring. Long lingering shots of nothing. Weird cuts and edits. Everything is shot way to close up and the camera never pulls back or gives any wide shots so you can't see anything happening, it's all implied and just off screen. Unless you enjoy very, very slow moving movies with minimal story skip this one.

Actually Not Bad, Even if It's Unoriginal and Cliché
The 'villain' is a white male who prays and thanks God though race isn't really mentioned so this is a minor thing. There is a comment about 'white American history' in school. There is no such thing as black or white history, there is only history. This is a leftist racist idea. However it's only one comment and could be missed if your not paying attention.
One of the players is revealed to be a girl hiding by never taking off her helmet and when they find out it's somehow made to be a big deal and special. It only lasts for one scene and is never brought up again. While it is said that they are poor kids with no advantages that no one cares about race is never mentioned or hinted at so I don't see this as woke.
These are all small elements that last for a second and are gone, they could easily be missed or overlooked and are not the focus of the movie. The acting is surprisingly good. The story is of course very predictable and has not one original idea that hasn't been done before in these types of movies. It's basically a vulgar R rated Bad News Bears. Snoop is a little ridiculous in the role of an ex NFL player with his stick legs and arms but whatever it's a stupid comedy. That being said there are some funny moments and it's worth a watch if you enjoy these types of movies.

Almost Good.... But At Least No Woke
No woke that I noticed. The acting is pretty great all around. The story however is all over the place. This doesn't know what it wants to be. A weird oddball comedy, end of career hitman thriller, mobster movie, romantic drama. It tries and fails at them all. The story just kind of meanders along and scenes are badly edited together and disjointed. There are no good action scenes, no suspense, no tension. The weird romance angle between 70 year old Brosnan and 43 year old Baccarin is
just weird and creepy. The whole movie just feels like a very low budget amateur made film despite costing 16 million dollars to make. At one point Charlie calls ahead to warn the casino they are about to get hit then pulls up to what literally looks like a whole in the wall bar with a single tv and pool table. That's the mobs casino? Really!? Why is every single scene of them from inside a car while driving such obviously bad green screen? In several scenes it's bright middle of the day sun
outside and yet so dark inside the car it looks like night. There is a good little thriller of a movie that would of been nice to see with a competent director and writer.

Complete Woke Garbage!
When I saw all the news articles everywhere praising how great this movie is I knew it was going to be woke but I wasn't
prepared for how awful in general this is. So much DEI everywhere. The body positive 70's afro sporting badly miscast FBI agent who is openly rascist and just an all around despicable person. The typical Hollywood feminist aggressive, hateful, violent. The call center is of course mostly white and run by a rich white beta coward of a man. The real boss if some comically absurd white male one percenter who rides a skateboard around and generally dresses and acts like an 80's reject. This is all in the 40 minutes I could stand of this pile of garbage. The acting is just terrible especially the FBI agent. The dialog and writing in general are laugh out loud bad. This scam center has been around
for a long time and everyone including the FBI has been trying to find them but can't, he literally makes on call to his magic female friend and she finds them instantly. Things just seem to magically happen in this movie for no reason and make no sense whatsoever. The action scenes aren't even that great either, very basic. This is just another brainless,
stupid mind-numbing film for the idiotic gen z to consume.

Not So Great
This is a little hard to rate as I have never seen the original source material. Reading some reviews however it seems there were multiple gender and race swaps. I only watched the first episode but there is
a nonexistent 'non-binary' character played by a mentally ill 'non-binary' actor that shows up in later episodes. There also seems to be a lot of complaints the this is totally inaccurate from the source material.
Personally I found the GC to be top notch. The acting however is very hit or miss, some good some very bad. The humor and dialog is childish and cringe. The fight scenes are very badly done and choreographed.
It's possible it gets better in later episodes but given this was canned after 1 season why bother.
