Action movie bad guys are always the topical enemy of the state. Even satirical takes on the genre end up recuperated and reinforce the very tropes they were criticizing(Robocop is my favorite example).
Bad guys! Great movie but the ending made it lose any and substence it had by giving in to the copaganda
Would it have ever made it through the ideological state apparatus without the cop out ending, though? I could see as the artist reaching that point, so close to your vision being public, and being told to change the end or risk losing control of the direction entirely when they bring in a new person. Might have felt like damage control, in the wrong hands, that movie could have been even more copagandistic than it was already.
Yea I absolutely get it while I am happy that only the ending was made to take that direction, it is still a shame that even just the ending had to change
