One is supposed to empathise with protagonists, No? And all the "pleasant, sound of a generation" music...awareness raising?
Or just facile, vacuous, meaningless, disingenuous, horrific, unrealistic, sensationalist, blood and guts entertainment to make yet more £$$£££$£$$£s
Or something else...
Perhaps it's an American film, where firearm murders are sometimes perceived to be virtually "par for the course" in RL? Or something else...
I don't think he's demonizing these subjects, but I don't think he's glorifying them either. I also don't think that casting well-known actors automatically prevents one from having something real to say about very controversial subjects.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
