Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
Danishka Esterhazy added more women soldiers to the squad and militia. The team features multiple female badasses like Hera who deliver prominent combat scenes including axe fights and hand-to-hand rampages. The director brought a female lens and kept mixed-gender team dynamics professional. The story keeps girl power visible through the elite unit setup the entire mission.
