Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's primary message, conveyed through Max's character arc, emphasizes individual agency, self-reliance, and the necessity of personal courage to overcome life's challenges and threats, rather than focusing on systemic issues or collective solutions.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast in its main roles, including a Black protagonist, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. Its narrative focuses on a character-driven thriller and does not incorporate explicit critiques of traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
Collateral does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely dedicated to its crime thriller plot, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity, either positive, negative, or neutral.
The film primarily focuses on male characters involved in combat. The main female character, Annie Farrell, is a civilian and is not depicted engaging in or winning any direct physical combat against male opponents. No other female characters participate in action sequences.
Collateral is an original film with characters created specifically for this story. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender was altered for this adaptation.
Collateral is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous adaptation from which characters' races were established. Therefore, no character can be considered race-swapped.
