Question 1

Is SAS: Red Notice (rise of the black swan) woke?

Accepted Answer

SAS: Red Notice (rise of the black swan) has a woke score of 17/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. This 2021 SAS action thriller has no noticeable woke content. The story is straight military action: off-duty SAS soldier Sam Heughan stops a train hijacking by a family of psychopathic mercenaries led by Ruby Rose’s villain Grace. No identity-driven plots, no activist lectures, no girlboss empowerment, and no reframing of events through modern identity politics. Government and corporate corruption serve as basic villain backstory for the pipeline massacre and blackmail scheme, nothing more. The hero proposes to his doctor girlfriend, they marry, and he keeps killing bad guys. Pure genre thriller with zero social justice messaging.
