Center

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film leans right by championing individual heroic action to combat corruption and restore law and order, focusing on 'bad apples' rather than systemic issues within law enforcement.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a visibly diverse cast, particularly in its supporting and co-lead roles, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. Its narrative maintains a traditional framing, portraying its white male protagonist positively and focusing on themes of police corruption rather than explicit DEI critiques.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: Medium

The character George Clark, a police detective who was depicted as white in John Westermann's source novel, is portrayed by a Black actor (DMX) in the film adaptation, constituting a race swap.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'Exit Wounds' is an action thriller that does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, it offers no portrayal, positive or negative, of the LGBTQ+ community.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features male protagonists who engage in physical combat. No female characters are depicted in direct physical combat against one or more male opponents, nor do they achieve victory in such encounters. Female characters primarily serve investigative or supportive roles.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Exit Wounds is an adaptation of a novel. A review of its main characters and their portrayals in the film compared to the source material reveals no instances where a character's established gender was changed.
