In response to your first question, at least off the top of my head, I can only think of movies where such mooks are on the payroll of unambiguously evil \\\"bad guys\\\", which makes it hard to sympathize. I haven\\\'t seen \\\'\\\'Taken\\\'\\\', so I can\\\'t comment.
Again, the Witch threatens to kill Dorothy\\\'s friends for \\\"helping the little lady along\\\", and does so in gleeful detail, not to mention threatening her pet \\\'\\\'dog\\\'\\\' for good measure. That doesn\\\'t sound like righteous anger to me. Then there\\\'s the way she later laments the end of her own \\\"beautiful wickedness\\\". In another context, you could argue for the things she does later in the movie, but (\\\'\\\'{{Wicked}}\\\'\\\' notwithstanding) it\\\'s a serious stretch to paint her as a good-hearted victim.
...we\\\'re not going to reach a conclusion on this without a third party, are we?
