The Rookies

AI Rating: 2/10 - "The Rookies" is a lighthearted Chinese action-comedy about four mismatched police recruits tackling a major drug case. While it features a diverse cast including a strong female lead (Sandrine Pinna) and characters from varied backgrounds, these elements serve the buddy-cop ensemble dynamic and humor rather than pushing identity politics or social justice agendas. No progressive messaging, DEI lectures, or prioritization of inclusion over plot; focus remains on fun action, teamwork, and pro-law-enforcement patriotism typical of mainland Chinese films. Minimal woke content.
