Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central thesis critiques unchecked global financial institutions that profit from war and instability, highlighting the systemic failure of traditional legal and political systems to hold them accountable. This focus on corporate malfeasance and systemic critique aligns with left-leaning perspectives.
The movie features a predominantly white European and American cast, consistent with traditional casting for its genre and setting, without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative critiques the corruption within a powerful international banking system and the actions of its powerful, mostly male, leaders, rather than explicitly targeting traditional identities themselves.
Secondary
The International is a political thriller centered on corporate corruption and international intrigue. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in an N/A rating for its portrayal.
The film 'The International' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is solely focused on a global financial conspiracy and the efforts of an Interpol agent and a district attorney to expose it.
The film primarily features male characters in its action sequences. The main female character, Eleanor Whitman, is an attorney and does not engage in physical combat. No other female characters are depicted in significant action roles or close-quarters fights against male opponents.
The International is an original screenplay and does not adapt characters from pre-existing source material, historical records, or prior installments. All characters were created for this film, meaning there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a previously established version.
The International is an original film with original characters, not an adaptation of existing material or a biopic. Therefore, no character has a pre-established race from source material or history to be altered.
