Primary
The film leans left by implicitly critiquing unethical military experimentation and government overreach, portraying the dangerous consequences of such programs on both soldiers and civilians.
The film features visible diversity in its supporting cast with a prominent role played by a Black actor. However, the narrative does not explicitly engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it center on DEI themes.
Secondary

The film features Anna Peterson as a significant female character involved in the climax. While she is present during confrontations and ultimately uses a firearm, there are no scenes where she or any other female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts.
