'Bullet' largely focuses on gritty street life, addiction, and crime, prioritizing atmosphere and authentic character dynamics over checking diversity boxes. Identity traits are present but not emphasized over story or personalities. Forced representation doesn't factor in here, and characters, flaws and all, are a product of their tough environment.

The film doesn’t appear to directly undermine family, religion, or masculinity; rather, it presents them in the context of urban struggle. Masculine traits are central, albeit flawed ones. If anything, it leans into traditional, gritty depictions rather than subverting them.

There’s little sign of ideological policing. The film allows for complexity in its marginalized and criminal characters, without caricaturing or villainizing traditional views. It’s more interested in realism than lecturing its audience or promoting a monoculture.
