The film’s structure reflects the societal hierarchies of the era. Although it features a strong female lead who drives the recruitment of a criminal gang, it does not challenge patriarchal structures or provide progressive representation. Overall, the film does not aim to disrupt conventional expectations about race, gender, or identity. Instead, it functions as a straightforward heist movie.
