New Showbiz Analysis

Why Me? is a localized, character-driven thriller that prioritizes the exploration of institutional corruption and individual ethics. The narrative structure is centered around a traditional dramatic arc of professional integrity. Given the specific, homogeneous cultural and professional context, the film lacks the multi-layered complexity necessary for a higher diversity score.
