Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
The movie keeps the focus on action and the autistic savant accountant killing bad guys. Autism appears as the character’s main trait with some lines about differences. The story constantly shows the lead’s routines and math genius. No girl power or anti-male messaging anywhere.
