Center
Primary
The film critiques corruption within the justice system and police force, but its central focus is on the individual moral struggle of a prosecutor to uphold truth and integrity within a flawed system, rather than advocating for specific systemic reforms or a broader ideological critique. It presents a complex, nuanced view of justice, loyalty, and the human cost of these professions without championing a particular political solution, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features visible diversity in its lead casting without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of justice and corruption within institutions, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity, particularly Catholicism, as a source of moral integrity and a guiding ethical framework through the character of Liam Casey. His faith is depicted as a positive influence, providing strength and a strong sense of justice amidst the moral ambiguities of the legal system.
