Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is a procedural crime thriller focused on law enforcement's pursuit of a serial killer, presenting an apolitical narrative centered on individual criminal acts and the traditional justice system's efforts to resolve them.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features visible diversity in its lead casting with a Black protagonist, consistent with the source material, rather than an explicit race-swap of a traditionally white role. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not center on explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Race Swap: NoConfidence: Medium
