Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict focuses on an internal threat to national security and the presidency, with the solution emphasizing individual heroism to preserve the integrity of government institutions and uphold patriotic duty, aligning with right-leaning themes.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast in supporting roles, but these do not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative focuses on a political thriller plot without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The Sentinel is a political thriller centered on a Secret Service investigation. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this rubric.
The film features Secret Service agent Jill Marin, who participates in investigations and action sequences. Her combat engagements primarily involve the use of firearms and tactical maneuvers, rather than close-quarters physical combat victories against male opponents.
The film is an adaptation of Gerald Petievich's novel "The Sentinel." All major characters, including Pete Garrison, David Breckinridge, and Jill Marin, retain their established genders from the source material in the screen adaptation.
The film is an adaptation of a novel. A review of the main characters and their portrayals indicates no instances where a character canonically established as one race was portrayed as a different race. Any shifts are in ethnicity, which is excluded by the definition.
