The film leans left by strongly critiquing systemic government corruption and the neglect of marginalized urban communities, highlighting class divisions and the abuse of power. Its solution, however, focuses on individual heroism and exposing specific corrupt actors within the existing system rather than advocating for a fundamental societal overhaul.
The movie features a diverse ensemble cast, including significant roles for minority actors, though its primary protagonists are white males. The narrative subtly critiques systemic corruption and social inequality, with traditional power figures depicted as antagonists, but it does not explicitly center on DEI themes or negatively portray traditional identities in a direct manner.
The character Tremaine Alexander, who is the equivalent of Taha Bemamud from the source film "District 13" (portrayed by a French-Algerian actor), is portrayed by a Black actor (RZA) in "Brick Mansions." This constitutes a race swap.
Brick Mansions does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot is centered on an action-thriller narrative involving an undercover cop and an ex-con, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features Rayzah, a female enforcer, who engages in physical combat with a male protagonist, Lino. However, she is ultimately defeated in this close-quarters fight. No other female characters are depicted winning direct physical confrontations against male opponents.
Brick Mansions is a remake of the French film District 13. A review of the main characters in both films reveals no instances where a character's established gender from the source material was changed in the remake.
