Center
Primary
The film is a stylized action-thriller centered on organized crime and law enforcement, with its focus on plot, spectacle, and character-driven chaos rather than promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology.
Smokin' Aces features a visibly diverse ensemble cast in key roles, including Black and Hispanic actors. However, the film does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles, nor does its narrative critically portray traditional identities or center around explicit DEI themes. The focus remains on its action-thriller plot.
Secondary
Smokin' Aces includes multiple LGBTQ+ characters, such as the lesbian assassin couple Georgia Sykes and Sharice Watters, and the mob informant Buddy Israel with his male lover. While these characters are largely villains, their queer identities are presented incidentally, neither celebrated nor explicitly denigrated. The film portrays their relationships as a characteristic of their lives, separate from their criminal actions, resulting in a neutral net impact.
The film "Smokin' Aces" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. While some characters exhibit gender non-conforming attire as part of their eccentric or villainous personas, their gender identity is not explored or presented as transsexual. Therefore, the film has no net impact on the portrayal of transsexual individuals.
The film features two prominent female assassins, Georgia Sykes and Sharice Watters. While both characters engage in combat and defeat male opponents, their victories are consistently achieved through the use of firearms from a distance. There are no scenes depicting either character winning in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
Smokin' Aces is an original film with no pre-existing source material, prior installments, or historical figures. All characters were created for this movie, thus no character's gender could have been swapped from a previously established version.
Smokin' Aces is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose race could have been altered, thus no race swaps occurred.
