Its themes of individual agency and the system's eventual functionality are presented without explicit political leanings, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie features a cast with some visible diversity, but does not appear to intentionally recast traditionally white roles with minority actors. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
Jury Duty features a transsexual character, Carla, whose identity is revealed as a major plot twist in a comedic murder trial. The film primarily uses this revelation for shock and humor, focusing on the jury's surprised reactions rather than depicting Carla with dignity or exploring her identity empathetically. This approach leans towards a problematic use of trans identity for comedic effect.
