Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is explicitly described as apolitical, prioritizing tension and action over social or political messaging, with its moral universe and character ethics remaining confined to personal rather than broader societal critique.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

Flight Risk features a predominantly white cast with no significant racial, ethnic, or LGBTQ+ diversity. The narrative focuses on survival and betrayal, without engaging with issues of identity or inclusion, or critiquing traditional identities.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: Medium

The film's portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes is minimal, with no prominent characters or deep engagement. However, the potential interpretation of a character as an 'evil gay' stereotype, even if not central, introduces a harmful element without any positive counterbalance or critique, resulting in a net negative impact.

FemPower: YesConfidence: High

The film features Madolyn Harris, a U.S. Marshal, who is depicted as physically capable. She engages with and ultimately defeats her male opponents, including a hitman, through physical strength and resilience in direct confrontations.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film introduces an original female lead character, Madolyn, in a typically male-dominated role. There is no indication that any character was previously established as a different gender in source material or prior iterations.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Flight Risk (2025) is presented as an original thriller, not an adaptation or reboot. The main cast portrays new characters, and there is no indication of any character being previously established as a different race. Therefore, no race swaps are identified.
