Center
Primary
The film focuses on a character's individual struggle for survival and escape from a dangerous life, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a broad societal critique from either a left or right perspective. Its narrative is primarily a character-driven thriller.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white cast and no apparent intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
