The film places gritty storytelling and action above ideological messaging. Characters are mostly written for narrative function and genre rather than to check boxes. There is little evidence of casting or character development being dictated primarily by ideology or identity themes. If anything, it’s too invested in old-school crime-thriller tropes, for better or worse.

Traditional masculine archetypes, flawed antiheroes, and an overall nihilistic worldview dominate here. While not exactly a celebration of family or religion, the film doesn’t go out of its way to mock or rewrite cultural values either. It feels more interested in exploring chaos than subverting tradition.

Alternative views aren’t overtly caricatured or villainized. There’s little sense the script tries to push a specific modern ideological agenda, and no obvious monoculture on display, if anything, it’s more focused on individual greed and cynicism than groupthink. Almost refreshingly old school in that respect.
