Perhaps the successful marketing has made it easy to forget this was not a Hollywood film. It's kind of a miracle they even had $30 million to spend in the first place. Spending more was not an option, and what they did is pretty incredible for $30 million.
The whole multinational corporation thing was a bit cliche, I'll certainly give you that, but I think it's interesting that you felt the movie was racist. I hadn't really thought of that, but I can see the point: the white characters were generally stupid, manipulative, and/or evil, and the black characters were primitive gang members running a black market. I don't think that was intentional at all, so I'm not sure it qualifies as shoving a message down anyone's throat, but I can certainly see that criticism.
