Critics Consensus

Jet Li and Jason Statham find themselves on opposing sides in the immensely boring War, which is full of clichés but short on action.

A needlessly elaborate plot somewhat spoils the pairing of these martial-arts icons, but this sturdy B-movie thriller has enough style to overcome its formulaic trappings.

5/10

The blithesome action and wacky characters of Jason Statham's previous martial arts flicks are nowhere to be found here.

An amalgam of every bland, run-of-the-mill action movie of the last 20 years.

Acaba revelando, em seu ato final, um esforço intrigante para surpreender o espectador, a esta altura, já fomos obrigados a agüentar uma infinidade de diálogos desastrosos e seqüências frouxas de ação e pouco pode ser feito para salvar o filme.

I loved The Beekeeper and "High Risk", cheesy films from these actors, but I couldn't quite get there. A friend put this on in the background and I found myself paying more attention then I expected. I wanted to be wowed by the interesting sets and the plentiful nudity (Strip club and then some). All of these actors have been in better movie and even as a huge Jet Li fan, who has seen the Hong Kong films, this is disappointing. The movie is cut ridiculous fast, and not just during hand to hand fights, but in scenes where people are getting shot and normally movies would slow things down or use a wide angle lense. The whole movie is worsened by this. I thought the plot was more interesting then other people did.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This could very well be the worst edited movie that I have ever had the displeasure to watch!

Phobe. John Lone with zero ass in sight and Devon Aoki might be a bingo
