this isn't the first time something like this is mentioned here but for the people it came off that way for, i can't imagine that was intentional.
I'm sure it wasn't. One of my key complaints is that the writer/director seems so lacking in awareness of what he was doing. Unintentionally or not he wrote a story that has very deeply unsettling undertones and did nothing to address it. If the movie had made anyone other than the main character more than a 2d cutout that could have changed the whole vibe, but again the guy making it just didn't do anything with it. In my first impression of it I liked the movie, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that it's actually quite vapid. If not for Riz Ahmed's sheer talent the movie would have all the depth of a Michael Bay film.
