The film naturally reflects diversity through its Hong Kong setting and cast, without explicit recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers social commentary by critiquing political elite and corporate negligence, highlighting working-class heroism, which provides an indirect critique of power structures rather than explicitly targeting traditional Western identities.
