 Lives Up to Its Name...WAR September 21, 2008
I would have to say this movie was much better than most of Li's other films. There is plenty of action, not as much hand-to-hand combat, but the twist in the story line was plenty to satisfy most viewers. Both Statham and Li are headliners and the acting in this film was superb. However, the biggest negative was the actual audio--one could barely make out what the actors were saying in the most crucial parts of the film. If you can read lips, then you won't have the frustration we did, straining to hear the lines most relevant to the plot.
War review September 7, 2008
JetLi and Jason- what a combination, their engrossing (film) personalities and their acting skills make this an enjoyable action flick.
Disappointed.... August 26, 2008
Jason Statham...LOVE HIM! Jet Li...LOVE HIM! I picked this up and thought....how could this go wrong. Obviously, I was disappointed. What could have been a great action/martial arts movie was tepid. As someone else mentioned Jet Li had little spark, which is unusual for him, and when/if you see this the twist will give you pause. He should have been angry, rightous, but I didn't get any of that.
Statham had some moments, and I will say the ending irked me being a fan of his, but the last five minutes of the movie...just seemed to pat.
If you like Statham see Crank. A Li fan see Unleashed, BUT if you have a few hours and are bored, you could do worse.
could have been better July 28, 2008
Ok. am a big Jason Statham fan and a Jet Li fan also, but the movie started off crapy and it didn't get good til mid end. Then they gave it a really crappy ending. Its quite a dissapointment for me. For anyone who wants to buy this movie and havn't seen it yet,RENT IT. am sure you wouldn't want to own it after you watched it.

Caveat #1: I love action films. Caveat #2: This is not a martial arts film.
Which is fine with me--I love action films, regardless of what kind of action it is. Well, some action films. This is one.
After an assassin named Rogue killed his partner and his partner's wife and child, finding Rogue is federal agent John Crawford's (Jason Statham) raison d'etre.
Meanwhile, Rogue's (Jet Li) purpose is a little less straightforward. Presumably working for the Triad, it becomes clear that he's manipulating the Triad into an all-out war with the Yakuza.
So basically, it's tailor-made for me: lots of action, a intriguing mystery (why is Rogue causing a war?), some nice eye-candy (Jason Statham), and a couple of really good twists.
