Curriculum is a high-concept thriller that emphasizes kinetic energy and professional conflict over social commentary. The narrative structure centers on the clash between two hitmen, limiting the exploration of systemic identity or multi-layered depth. The film stands out by using a non-Western cast and production context, offering a non-mainstream perspective. However, the reliance on genre clichés regarding the female target and the lack of diverse identity markers keeps the overall score moderate. Ultimately, the work functions as a niche, visceral genre piece. It succeeds in providing a non-Western perspective through its casting but lacks intentional social deconstruction.
