Traditional
Primary
The film primarily focuses on the amoral mechanics of the criminal underworld, depicting individual ambition, loyalty, and power shifts without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a politically charged solution to the pervasive corruption.
The film features a cast that is primarily white and male, consistent with the setting and genre, without any intentional recasting of roles for diversity. The narrative does not offer a critical perspective on traditional identities, instead portraying them neutrally within the context of the story.
Secondary
The film features a subplot where a villainous crime boss is implied to have sexually abused his stepson, a rock star. This past trauma significantly impacts the victim's character arc, linking implied same-sex experience solely to abuse, misery, and villainy without any affirming or neutral LGBTQ+ representation.
The film portrays its primary antagonists, Lenny Cole and Roman, as Jewish adherents who are ruthless, violent, and hypocritical criminals. There is no counterbalancing positive or nuanced depiction of Judaism or its followers within the narrative. This portrayal, while not explicitly condemning the faith, risks reinforcing negative stereotypes by associating Jewish identity with criminality and moral corruption.
The film features Stella, the primary female character, who does not engage in direct physical combat. No other female characters are depicted participating in or winning close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.
