Pain & Gain (2013)

The film critiques the dark side of the 'American Dream' and materialism through the lens of individual moral failure and entitlement, ultimately emphasizing personal accountability and the consequences of criminal actions rather than systemic critiques.

The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting, as a traditionally white real-life character is explicitly recast with a Black actor. While the narrative negatively portrays its male protagonists' actions and misguided ambitions, this serves as an indirect critique of certain traditional identities rather than an explicit DEI-driven narrative.
