Center
Primary
The film's central conflict involves corporate and government corruption, but its narrative focuses on individualistic revenge and vigilante justice rather than advocating for systemic change or promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting for its main characters, aligning with the source material, and does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on a white male protagonist's journey without critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The character B.B. Hensley, depicted as white in the source video game, is portrayed by Amaury Nolasco, an actor of Hispanic descent, in the film adaptation.
The film 'Max Payne' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses exclusively on the protagonist's quest for revenge within a dark, crime-ridden setting, without incorporating any elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features Mona Sax, a skilled assassin, who participates in several action sequences. However, her combat victories are consistently achieved through the use of firearms, not close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The film adaptation of Max Payne maintains the established genders of its core characters from the video game series, with no significant roles undergoing a gender change from their canonical portrayals.
