How does "Blue Steel" challenge the conventions of the action genre and portray the unique challenges faced by women in law enforcement?

In Kathryn Bigelow's "Blue Steel", Jamie Lee Curtis plays Megan Turner, a rookie NYPD officer who, on her first night, thwarts a robbery but faces accusations of killing an unarmed man. Her superiors dismiss her claims, forcing her to take justice into her own hands. The film explores the challenges women face in a male-dominated police force.
