Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around personal vengeance and the violation of an established code within a fictional criminal underworld, which is an apolitical subject matter. While themes of individual responsibility and tradition are present, they are contextualized within this specific subculture and do not promote a broader political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie incorporates a diverse ensemble in its supporting cast, contributing to varied on-screen representation. However, the central protagonist is a white male, and the film does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on action and revenge, without critically portraying traditional identities or making explicit DEI critiques central to its story.
Secondary
