Strong Left
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a progressive ideology by critiquing systemic corruption, unchecked corporate power, and government complicity, reflecting a disillusioned and anti-authoritarian stance toward institutions.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the casting of a British-Pakistani actor in a lead role typically held by white actors, contributing to racial and ethnic representation. Its narrative subtly addresses themes of corporate power imbalance, gendered vulnerability, and incorporates disability-related technology, though these elements are integrated within a thriller framework rather than being explicitly central to the film's primary focus.
Secondary
Relay, a corporate espionage thriller, centers on a fixer and a whistleblower, with a subtle heterosexual romantic undertone between the main characters. The film's narrative and themes do not include any explicit portrayal or thematic addressing of LGBTQ+ identities or issues, resulting in no depiction of the LGBTQ+ community.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Relay (2025) is an original thriller not based on pre-existing source material or historical figures. Consequently, no characters have a prior established canonical gender that could be swapped.
The film features original characters whose race was not canonically established in prior source material. The casting choices align with unspecified or implied backgrounds, thus not meeting the definition of a race swap.
