Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around personal revenge and the world of professional assassins, which are largely apolitical action-thriller tropes. Its solution, individual retribution, does not explicitly promote or critique specific political ideologies, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its casting, particularly with a non-white female lead in a central action role, which represents a departure from traditional casting norms. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes, maintaining a neutral framing in its portrayal of characters.
Secondary
The film features Anna, a highly skilled assassin, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents. She utilizes martial arts, hand-to-hand techniques, and melee weapons to achieve these victories.
The film "The Protégé" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on heterosexual relationships and action-thriller elements, with no explicit representation of queer identities or experiences.
