The film centers on a hyper-competent female spy, which some viewers may see as a nod to modern identity trends over grounded character development. Still, the movie puts effort into giving Lorraine flaws and vulnerabilities. Representation feels stylish rather than overtly forced, but the balance occasionally tips toward showcasing her as largely unstoppable.

There’s a clear subversion of typical gender roles, with a female lead excelling in a traditionally masculine, hyper-violent role. Masculinity isn't presented as the ideal, but neither is it heavily mocked. Family, religion, and tradition are mostly absent, so their undermining is more by omission than attack.

Alternative worldviews are mainly absent due to the film’s focus, but it doesn’t go out of its way to villainize traditional perspectives. The spy-vs-spy setting keeps things ideologically ambiguous, but the spotlight on progressive character types is obvious.
