This aligns with right-leaning values of strong defense and individual agency.

The film features visible diversity within its supporting cast, contributing to a neutral representation score. The narrative, however, maintains a traditional framing with no critique of traditional identities, focusing instead on a classic action-thriller plot.

Secondary
