Detailed Bias Analysis

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's focus on individual corruption within a government agency, resolved through personal vengeance without challenging the systemic status quo or offering deeper political commentary, positions it as neutral and apolitical.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie showcases a visibly diverse ensemble cast, particularly in terms of racial representation. However, its narrative largely adheres to traditional espionage tropes, focusing on heterosexual relationships and a male protagonist's quest. While female characters hold significant roles, their portrayal is primarily in support of the main male character, and the film does not foreground themes of female empowerment or explicitly engage with LGBTQ+ representation.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'The Amateur' does not appear to feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on espionage and political intrigue, with no indication of exploring queer identities or experiences. Therefore, its net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A due to a complete absence of depiction.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The provided information indicates female characters hold authority or are pivotal to the plot, primarily serving the male protagonist's story. There is no mention of any female character engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Female empowerment is described as underdeveloped.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The provided information explicitly states there is no evidence of gender-swapping main characters from the source material. Female roles are significant but appear to be new or conventionally cast, not altered from established genders.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The provided information states there is no specific mention of race-swapping or significant reimagining of characters' racial identities compared to the original novel or previous adaptations. Therefore, no race swap is indicated.
