Misconduct

Representation / casting choices

Standard thriller cast of established actors in fitting roles; one supporting Asian performer plays a logical hitman character with no visible emphasis, signaling, or mismatch to story world.

Political / ideological dialogue

Occasional lines about pharma greed and ethics stay within classic thriller conflict; no explicit modern activist language, identity framing, or current-events lectures.

Identity-driven story themes

Core story is ambition, betrayal, blackmail, and corporate crime with zero arcs, subplots, or messaging tied to race, gender, sexuality, or identity politics.

Institutional / cultural critique

Portrays one pharma executive as ruthless and deadly—a familiar thriller trope about unchecked corporate power and cover-ups, presented without modern activist reframing of capitalism, patriarchy, or systemic identity issues.
