The film adheres to the conventions of 1970s international genre cinema. It emphasizes high-stakes espionage and the tension surrounding a mysterious mineral, rather than focusing on characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. The narrative structure centers on plot-driven conflict and the destabilizing effects of a transformative MacGuffin. This focus on external pursuits and genre clichés limits the visibility of diverse social identities. While the film delves into themes of power and the loss of humanity, these elements serve the thriller genre rather than challenging social hierarchies.
