Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film is an action-comedy that primarily focuses on themes of friendship, self-acceptance, and overcoming past bullying within a standard spy thriller plot, consciously avoiding deep political commentary or ideological leanings.

The movie features visible diversity in its lead casting with prominent Black actors, contributing to a more inclusive representation in mainstream cinema. However, its narrative primarily maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not explicitly center on broader DEI themes related to race, gender, or sexuality.

Secondary

The film "Central Intelligence" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on action, comedy, and the platonic friendship between its two male leads, with no explicit or implicit references to queer identity or experiences.

Central Intelligence does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely unrelated to transgender identity, resulting in a 'N/A' rating for its portrayal.

The film primarily focuses on two male protagonists in its action sequences. No female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.

Central Intelligence is an original film with no pre-existing source material or historical figures. All characters were created for this movie, therefore, no character's gender was altered from a prior established canon.

Central Intelligence is an original film with characters created specifically for this movie. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous adaptations where these characters were established as a different race.
