Leans Traditional
Primary
The film critiques the injustice of mandatory minimum sentencing laws, a topic often associated with progressive reform. However, its narrative champions an individualistic solution centered on a father's personal sacrifice and agency to protect his family, aligning more with themes of individual responsibility and skepticism of government overreach.
The movie features a prominent minority actor in its lead role, contributing to visible diversity in the cast. The narrative, however, maintains a traditional framing of its male protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities, focusing instead on systemic issues within the justice system.
Secondary
