A Cop Movie

The film highlights the masculine hierarchies of the 1970s Mexican police force. It doesn't include any visible non-traditional gender identities or stories that question the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender.

The story revolves around male-dominated power structures and the moral dilemmas faced by male officers. There is no significant portrayal of women taking a leading role or challenging traditional gender roles.

The film offers a localized, non-Anglo-centric viewpoint by focusing on a Mexican cast. It explores themes of state power and socioeconomic stratification through a predominantly non-white cast.

The story presents a nuanced critique of Western-style institutional stability. It depicts state institutions as inherently flawed, reflecting a post-colonial perspective on authority.

The film does not focus on visible or invisible disabilities. Instead, it emphasizes the psychological and moral erosion of its main characters rather than addressing neurodivergence or physical disabilities.
