Leans Right

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film leans right due to its championing of individual, extra-legal action against government corruption and its justification of extreme measures for national security, rather than promoting systemic reform or collective action.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features visible diversity in its cast with prominent roles for Black actors, though these are not explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily focuses on an action thriller plot, framing traditional identities neutrally without explicit critique or making DEI themes central to the story.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'Swordfish' does not contain any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on action, hacking, and espionage, with no elements that would allow for an evaluation of LGBTQ+ portrayal.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High
