Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's central focus on over-the-top, apolitical action and individual survival, without engaging in substantive political commentary or endorsing specific ideologies, results in a neutral rating.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, incorporating various non-white actors in significant roles. However, its narrative does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicitly center DEI themes, focusing instead on the protagonist's action-driven survival.
Secondary
The film features a transsexual character, Ria, depicted as a prostitute. Her identity is predominantly used for crude humor, shock value, and as a source of conflict, reinforcing harmful stereotypes. The portrayal lacks dignity, complexity, or agency, resulting in a net negative impact.
The film "Crank: High Voltage" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses exclusively on its high-octane action plot without engaging with queer identities or experiences.
The film primarily focuses on the male protagonist's violent encounters. Female characters are present in supporting roles but are not depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
Crank: High Voltage is a direct sequel to an original film, not an adaptation of pre-existing material. All returning characters maintain their established genders from the previous installment, and new characters do not qualify as gender swaps.
This film is a direct sequel to an original action movie, not an adaptation of pre-existing material. All returning characters are portrayed by the same actors, maintaining their established racial depictions. No new characters introduced constitute a race swap.
