Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a progressive critique of systemic police corruption and racial injustice within law enforcement, directly linking these institutional failures to social unrest and advocating for accountability.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast in supporting roles without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional characters.
