Leans Traditional

Primary

The film explores themes of crime, desperation, and moral ambiguity within a kidnapping plot, focusing on individual choices and their violent repercussions without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or solution.

The movie features a predominantly white and male cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative does not critique traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on a crime-driven plot.

Secondary

The film features a Jewish character, Max, whose identity is briefly referenced by the antagonist, Charlie Barret, in a sarcastic and manipulative manner. The narrative frames Charlie as a cynical villain, making it clear that his bigoted remark is a reflection of his character, not the film's stance on Judaism.
