Assassin (2025)

The film portrays a male assassin forcibly undergoing gender reassignment as a revenge plot device. The narrative focuses on the character's profound distress, disbelief, and rejection of their new female body, emphasizing trauma and conflict. This depiction is considered problematic, using transsexual identity as a source of misery and sensationalism rather than authentic exploration or affirmation.

The film portrays Christianity through a devout character, Amy, and explores themes of faith and moral struggle. While an extremist antagonist blames Christianity for his suffering, the narrative frames this as part of his problematic worldview and the inter-religious conflict, rather than validating his critique.

The film depicts the antagonist, Ahmed, as a devout Muslim whose faith, though firm, directly motivates his extremist actions and desire to violently alter religious history. This portrayal links Islam to extremism without significant counterbalancing positive nuance within the narrative.
