Primary
While the film addresses corporate environmental pollution, a theme often associated with left-leaning discourse, its narrative primarily focuses on individual heroism and direct action to achieve justice, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or systemic solution. The environmental issue serves as a backdrop for a universal good-vs-evil story, leading to a neutral rating.
The film features a cast appropriate to its Hong Kong origin, without engaging in explicit DEI-driven casting relative to Western traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on action and comedy, portraying its male protagonists without critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
