Pha-Q woke's Reviews
Solid Horror Movie
Only woke is a token DEI hire and the mixed race couple. The acting is mostly good with the token being the weakest actor making it more noticeable. This is a generally good teen slasher type movie with some pretty good kills and nice blood and gore. Story is nothing original but that doesn't really hamper the film as its well done and entertaining. Worth checking out.

Boring Thriller Without the Thrills
DEI hires. White father with black daughter. Female POC parole officer. Mixed race couples. Boring, bland straight to dollar bin DVD. This is listed as a crime, drama, horror. There is no horror at all in this. Acting is ok but everything else is predictable and bland. Pass.

Surprisingly Enjoyable With No Woke
No woke I noticed. I had written this one off as the reviews on most sites were pretty bad but after seeing the other review on here decided to give it a shot. I actually enjoyed this one. Acting was good all around with a decent story. It's a little slow to get started but it's never dull. Some creepy atmospheric shots and buildup with a couple good kills and gore. If your into horror this is one worth looking for.

The 80's Were So 'Problematic"
Huge amount of DEI casting. Sherriff is a short overweight Asian female. Genius black teen female invents time travel. The only person who believes her is the genius black female teens genius mother. Basically this whole movie revolves around an extremely annoying gen z woke liberal screeching about how terrible and problematic the 80's were. Literally every woke bs topic imaginable is here. It's not funny, it's not scary, it's just bad.

No Woke But Very Odd
No woke here. This is not a very good movie though. The acting if fine but the story is not well thought out. There is almost no dialog in this. The idea is a revenge film after the father's son is killed in a drive by and he is shot in the throat losing his voice. The problem though is nobody has any dialog. It makes sense for the father but everyone else just stands around not talking for no reason. It's just silly and awkward. If you wanted to do a silent film then maybe make him deaf as well. This should have been a high energy mostly action film to make the lack of dialog make more sense but other than the opening scene there is no action until an hour in. Up to that point it's more of a drama and it really makes the silent characters everywhere seem very odd. The action when there is any is kind of dull and unimpressive. Surprising for a John Woo film but it never really feels like one of his movies. It's not horrible but don't expect a John Woo action film because your not getting it.

Dull, Boring, And In Its Own Way Woke
As others have stated the only actual woke in the film is some female racers when there were none. However, the premise of the film is that this kid is some sort of racing genius and the game makers came up with the idea of the academy and sent out select invitations to a very few and this kid won and was the first ever gamer to become a real racer. None of that is true. Everyone knew about the academy and anyone could enter and try to win a spot. Jann wasn't even the first one to win, or the second, but the third. The first and second were both very white looking males. One from Spain and one From France. In fact Lucas Ordóñez who was the first one to do it placed 2nd at Le Mans. He did it first and placed higher. Plus Jann's career as a pro is unimpressive and mediocre at best. It's not like he went on to be some incredible racer. So while the contents of the film itself aren't woke the fact that the movie was made the way it was with Jann instead of the actual first person to do it is absolutely woke! The film itself is rather poor. The acting is generally not great with the actor playing Jann and his friends in particular being pretty bad. The dialogue is not good the race scenes are boring and the writing in general is just poor. There is no flow or natural progression to anything, it all just happens. The way some of the things are portrayed are so unbelievable they just can't possibly be accurate. If you really like Gran Turismo or just like racing you may enjoy it. Personally I was bored the entire bloated 2 plus hours runtime.

Actually Fairly Good
Woke consists of a large amount of background and secondary characters being black. If you don't mind the animation (i kind of liked it) this is actually a pretty good batman themed Christmas movie. Voice acting is good, the story is good. Surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. Worth a watch.

Not Good Woke Holiday Movie
Mixed race, gay couple and one of them is deaf. Checked a lot of boxes on that one. Also used the race card several times. Acting is pretty good but it's not really much of a comedy. It's a dysfunctional family holiday movie without the fun. Pretty much everyone in this is a horrible unlikable person. Unless you like watching terrible people being terrible to each other pass on this one.

None Woke Christmas Movie
No woke. One of the best Christmas movies out there. Great acting, the characters are excellent and the humor is spot on. Must watch every year!

No Woke War Movie
No woke here. Good war with some inaccuracies that can be overlooked. Well acted with good cinematography. This is not a typical Guy Ritchie movie nor is it a typical big budget Hollywood action war movie so don't go in expecting that. This is more a look at the relationship and loyalty built between American military and interpreters. Well done and worth a watch.
