5/5 Excellant Movie From Start To Finnish
  by Arthur L. Sampson (california)
War is one heck of an action movie from start to finnish. Jason and Lee back again since The One, and they are both top notch actors. I have predicted for a long time Jason would make one of the best James Bonds if that could ever happen for him.

I love jet li movies and am starting to get into Jason Statham movies because they both do action movies in a great way. This movie can't be called an action movie because there was none of it

3/5 In WAR Sometimes You Never Know Which Side Your Opponent May Be On
  by Martin Asiner (Jersey City, NJ)
WAR is trumpeted as a collision between the two reigning stars of the martial arts world, Jet Li and Jason Statham. Their meeting is less a collision than a bump. For most of the film, they speak to each other on a cell, challenge one another with enigmas and quips, but do not meet face to face until very near the end, and when they do, their collision is fraught with overlapping identity confusion and plot inconsistencies.

Statham is FBI agent Crawford whose partner and family were murdered by a mysterious assassin called the Rogue (Li). The plot involves how the Rogue acts as a fulcrum to create a war between the Triads and the Yakuza. Statham as Crawford pursues a leaky trail to find out his partner's killer and to head off this war. There is surprisingly little true martial arts anywhere. One would think that the climax would feature a showdown between the leads. What we get instead is the usual cinema mix of car crashes, motorcycle chases, sword fights, and gun duels, all of which have their charm, but given that this film highlights the skills of Statham and Li, one would think there would be less mass violence by nameless lackeys and more mano a mano between the stars. The plot hinges on identity swapping and this is where I was confused. I hoped to get a martial arts version of HIGH NOON. What I got was a preachy version of I LED THREE LIVES.

4/5 Mayhem, With A Twist
  by Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
Hey, if you're interested in seeing a mostly-violent flick with a big body count, gratuitous in nature half the time, and a lot of hostility, anger, betrayal, a big twist near the end and tons of testosterone, then this movie is for you. If you want a quiet, low-key thriller, skip this one.

This is somewhat brainless blood-and-guts, slice 'n dice. In other words: know what you're going to get here. We get many, many gunshots to head., long range to up-close-and personal, swords into mouths and through back of head and through just about any other body part, a car chase, motorcycle chases, a few bare breasts and a bunch of attention-grabbing scenes of brutality, which definitely outnumber the quieter scenes.

Jason Statham seems to be the new macho man of the day, playing this kind of role in numerous films the past few years. Jet Li.....well, you know him. Statham versus Li? Yes, but not really. The two are only in the same scene twice, once for a couple of minutes of Jason giving threats and Jet standing there passively, and then in the finale fight scene. The latter, unlike most of these action films of today, is not overdone and go on and on. It's just about the right length.

The best part of this ultra-violent movie dealing with rival Asian gangs and FBI agent (s) in the middle in the BIG twist near the end of the film. At least it makes this a little more than a brainless action movie. I think it's kind of cool, although don't try to analyze it for credibility.
