Center

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film's central narrative champions individual, extra-legal action by a betrayed military veteran against a corrupt government conspiracy, strongly aligning with conservative and libertarian themes of skepticism towards state power and the necessity of self-reliance.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, yet its central protagonist remains a traditionally white male. The narrative primarily offers a positive portrayal of traditional identities, with its critique focused on institutional corruption rather than specific identity groups, and DEI themes are not central to the plot.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

The film adapts the novel "Point of Impact," where characters Nick Memphis and Senator Charles F. Meachum (analogous to Col. Isaac Johnson) were depicted as white. In the film, these roles are portrayed by Michael Peña (Hispanic/Latino) and Danny Glover (Black), constituting race swaps.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film "Shooter" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on the protagonist's journey to clear his name, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the storyline.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features two main female characters: Sarah Fenn, a civilian, and Agent Alourdes Galindo, an FBI agent. Neither character engages in or wins close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Agent Galindo's combat scenes involve firearms.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Shooter" (2007) is an adaptation of Stephen Hunter's novel "Point of Impact." All major characters, including Bob Lee Swagger, Nick Memphis, and Sarah Fenn, retain their original genders from the source material. No established character underwent a gender change.
