Question 1

Is Jack Reacher: Never Go Back woke?

Accepted Answer

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back has a woke score of 47/100, which means it is mixed, with noticeable woke elements. The movie keeps pushing competent girlboss military women as Reacher’s equals who fight, decide, and share equal screen time with him. Director Edward Zwick framed the whole thing around strong female characters and gender dynamics in a 2016 “interesting moment in America” for that topic. The narrative repeatedly shows Reacher bonding with Major Susan Turner and the teen girl while they prove they’re not damsels and handle their own business. No lectures on patriarchy or systemic oppression, just recurring identity-aware female empowerment beats layered into the conspiracy chase.
