Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a hitman's personal existential crisis and his journey to reconnect with his past and find redemption, making its themes overwhelmingly personal and apolitical. The solution is individual transformation and finding love, rather than any systemic or ideological change.

Secondary
