These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Fistful of Vengeance.
Woke representation / casting
Zama is a Black Interpol agent who becomes a capable fighter in the main group. Preeya is a Thai local guide who also fights beside the team. Ku and Zan are women with major villain roles in the action. The Bangkok setting makes Preeya and Ku's roles natural to the story. The movie does not turn these roles into talk about race or sex.
