Primary
The film leans left due to its central critique of corrupt authority and focus on marginalized women seeking freedom from an oppressive system, aligning with anti-establishment and social justice themes.
The movie features prominent and intentional diverse casting with a Black and a White woman as co-leads, a dynamic central to its premise. However, its narrative primarily focuses on action and escape, with male antagonists typical of the genre, rather than offering an explicit or central critique of traditional identities or deep DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features female protagonists Lee Daniels and Karen Brent, who, while chained together, engage in and win multiple close-quarters physical fights against male opponents, including prison guards and gang members. They utilize their combined strength and the chain as a melee weapon to overcome their adversaries.
