Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's overwhelming focus on first-person action, extreme violence, and a generic sci-fi supervillain plot means it largely avoids engaging with political themes, presenting an apolitical narrative centered on survival and personal revenge.
The film features a predominantly white cast, consistent with its setting and production, without explicit efforts to diversify roles through race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on action and survival, neither critiquing nor explicitly promoting traditional identities or DEI themes.
Secondary
Hardcore Henry does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative is a relentless first-person action experience, entirely focused on the protagonist's mission without exploring queer identities or experiences.
The film features female characters, primarily Estelle and her clones, who are involved in action sequences. However, their combat contributions are predominantly achieved through the use of firearms. There are no clear instances where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights.
Hardcore Henry is an original film, not an adaptation of existing source material or a reboot of legacy characters. All characters were created for this film, thus precluding any gender swaps from prior established versions.
Hardcore Henry is an original film, not an adaptation of existing source material, a biopic, or a reboot with legacy characters. All characters were created for this specific film, thus precluding any race swaps.
