The two female named characters do speak but only in one scene and it’s exposition about the female lead’s current occupation thus setting up the reason why she is important to the antagonist.

Not sure whether this is a ‘dubious’ one or not as Julia, the female lead speaks extensively to an AI (Tau) about the main antagonist (Alex, who is male). Tau is voiced by and presented as male but as it’s an AI I’m not sure where the Bechdel stands on this. I presume it passes.
