Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around personal revenge, a subject matter that is inherently apolitical. Its narrative explores the escalating and often absurd cycle of violence without explicitly endorsing or critiquing it from a clear ideological standpoint, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features primarily traditional casting without explicit DEI-driven race or gender swaps. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, with no central critique of these identities or explicit focus on DEI themes.
Secondary
Cold Pursuit includes a gay couple, Speedo and Mustang, as minor antagonists. Their relationship is presented matter-of-factly, without explicit mockery or celebration. While they are killed as part of the violent plot, their deaths are linked to their criminal activities rather than their sexual orientation, resulting in a largely neutral portrayal.
Cold Pursuit is a remake of the Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance. In the remake, the roles of a police detective and a leader of a rival gang, both portrayed by male characters in the original, are taken by female characters. This constitutes multiple gender swaps.
The character 'Papa,' the leader of the rival gang in the original Norwegian film, who was canonically white, is portrayed by 'White Bull,' an Indigenous actor, in the American remake. This constitutes a race swap for a significant character.
The film 'Cold Pursuit' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The plot focuses on a snowplow driver's revenge against drug dealers, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences present in the story.
The film features female characters in supporting roles, including Grace and Aya, who are not involved in combat. The character Dex is a professional assassin, but her victories are achieved through the use of firearms, not close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
