Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film leans left by critically portraying the moral compromises and brutal, extralegal methods employed by the US government in the 'war on drugs,' highlighting the disillusionment of an idealistic protagonist and questioning the efficacy and ethics of such state power.

The film features visible diversity within its cast, including a prominent Hispanic character, but does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers a critique of the system and the moral compromises involved in the 'war on drugs,' rather than explicitly targeting traditional identities.

Secondary

Sicario does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely focused on the brutal realities of the drug war, leaving no room for the exploration or depiction of queer identities or experiences within its plot.

Sicario does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's entire focus is on the brutal realities of the drug trade and the ethical compromises made by those fighting it, rendering the concept of trans representation irrelevant to its narrative.

The film features Kate Macer, an FBI agent, as the primary female character in action. While she participates in firearm-based engagements, there are no scenes depicting her achieving victory in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. In a direct physical confrontation, she is overpowered by a male assailant.

Sicario is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of existing material or a biopic. All main characters were created for this film, thus lacking a prior canonical or historical gender to be swapped from.

Sicario (2015) is an original film with an original screenplay and characters. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment to establish the canonical race of any character. Therefore, no character could have been portrayed as a different race than originally established.
