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.

Tim Grierson

Screen International

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.

Gone With The Twins

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

Rated: 5/10

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

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

Rated: 2/4

Cinema em Cena

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

The film is set in a rivalry between the two, and since it's actually played by an Asian, there's more fighting. I really liked the movie. I would like to express my gratitude to the director.
