The Rhythm Section (2020)

The film features Stephanie Patrick, who, after extensive training, engages in and wins a brutal close-quarters physical fight against a male antagonist, utilizing hand-to-hand combat and a melee weapon.

The character Marc Serra, who is depicted as a white French intelligence agent in the source novel, is portrayed by a Black actor in the film adaptation. This constitutes a race swap.

The film portrays a terrorist organization whose 'radicalized' members are responsible for a horrific bombing and are depicted as cruel and hateful antagonists. The narrative offers no counterbalancing positive or nuanced portrayal of Islam or its adherents, thereby reinforcing a negative stereotype through the actions of its villains.
