Primary
The film's narrative champions an individualistic and direct-action approach to combating organized crime, emphasizing the efficacy of a lone hero's forceful intervention over systemic or bureaucratic solutions, which aligns with themes of individual responsibility and law and order.
The movie features a Black actor in the central action hero role, a deliberate casting choice that stands out from the era's typical action film leads. The narrative, however, maintains a traditional action film structure without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
