Primary
The film's central critique targets unchecked corporate power and government complicity in environmental crimes, which are primary preoccupations of progressive discourse, leading to a left-leaning rating.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without explicit DEI-driven casting or race/gender swaps. Its narrative centers on a white male protagonist portrayed positively, and while antagonists are also white males, their negative portrayal stems from their actions rather than their identity, with no central DEI themes.
Secondary

Edge of Darkness does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The story is centered on a father's investigation into his daughter's death, leading to a political thriller plot involving corporate and government malfeasance.
