Primary
The film addresses a personal quest for justice against corruption and a flawed legal system, resolving the conflict through individual initiative rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.
The movie features some visible diversity within its supporting cast, including a Black male and a Hispanic female in significant roles. However, these characters are integrated into the plot without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative itself is a thriller that does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
