Primary
The film's narrative is explicitly stated to be apolitical, focusing on a personal story of individual heroism within an action-comedy thriller framework, rather than engaging in political commentary or conveying a distinct political stance.
The movie centers on a protagonist navigating life with a significant disability, exploring themes of chronic illness, isolation, and personal growth. While it deeply engages with these diverse experiences and social challenges, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or feature explicit racial/gender recasting.
