All good points. It does shift the blame from guvmint to naughty companies. And it does bear more than a passing resemblance to numerous episodes of the "The A-Team" - construction sequence defeats fanatical dusky militia. (Your point about the "good native" clarifies why Yensin was changed from Chinese(?), although I think that had already been done in the comics and the film just borrowed it.)

One thing I did appreciate was that the Ten Rings guys were thugs doing business, not religious madmen who Hate Our Freedom.
