Primary
The film addresses left-leaning concerns such as environmental destruction and corporate exploitation but champions an individualistic, non-systemic solution through the actions of its heroes, resulting in a neutral political stance.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, including a prominent role for a Latina actress, but the central heroic roles are traditionally cast. The narrative presents traditional white male protagonists in a positive light and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center strong DEI themes.
