Statham & Lee Light It Up !!!!Review created: 01/01/08(updated 01/01/08)

5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
Set in San Francisco, 'War' is a brutally savage revenge story; as FBI Agent Jack Crawford (Statham) seeks to bring down former CIA Assassin turned Freelance Contract Killer Rogue (Li); the man who killed his partner. He gets his chance when war breaks out between the City's Chinatown-Based Triads and their Rivals the Yakuza (Asian Mafia) who operate from San Francisco's "Yakuza District." Crawford detects Rogue's machinations in the destructive precision-based violence; confirmed by his discovery of one of the killer's trademark Titanium Shell Casings at a crime scene.
The story is credited to two First-Time Screenwriters, Gregory J. Bradley and Lee Anthony Smith. The plot is not-simple; nor a joke; as intrigued connections intertwine the Rival Asian Mafia Groups; and frankly request you "pay-attention" or face getting-lost in brilliant storyline. The violence is brutal and carrying intensity not very reminiscent of scenes from other action movies.
(Statham & Li inevitably bring the violence to a whole new level).
Unfortunately, the only film fault is a bit of storyline twisting that comes a little too-late; making clear sense....but leaving you to wonder why this couldn't have been introduced just a bit earlier; which would clear up what seems (during the movie) to be unanswered storyline holes.
Stick with the Film !!!!
The holes all fill-in....and will leave you talking about this film for a while.
Academy-Award Winner ?? NO !!
Statham & Li "Tearing It Up" ?? Oh Yeah !!
Face-Value Action with Detailed Storyline. Pay Attention - Won't Dissatisfy !!

WAR (2008, DVD)Review created: 02/09/09

I love everything about this movie. I am a Jet and Jason fan, and to have both men in one movie is a treat for me. Rarely, in martial arts movies, you either get to see a sword fight, hand to hand combat, gun fight, or like David Carradine's kung fu version. This movie had it all! Jet plays an assassin seeks revenge on a FBI agent played by Jason. There is a cat and mouse chasing experience thru out the movie between Jet and Jason. In between the chaos, Jet managed to get rid of Japanese ninjas and Chinese triads at the same time while at the end he finally got a chance to battle his most wanted man, Jason. The only part that I didn't like was that Jet and Jason had too quick of a fight and also lacking much of the martial arts skills that the two men had. However, the director explains why he make them fight that way. I understood then after I watched the MAKING of the movie. I decided to buy this movie several times because I really enjoyed it. So, I bought a few for my friends and co workers. If you're a fan of both men or just one man, buy it. I don't recommend this film for kids tho, too violent!

I at first wasn't sure about this film..but now that I have seen it I am a HUGE fan of Jason Stratham and Jet Li..Film opens with two Agents doing battle with the baddies, very impressive scenes..Fast forward a pleasant sunny day for a BBQ..in walks a a masked assassin..when the guests arrive they find the house burned nearly down, three bodies one man, a woman and a little Girl..a vendetta is formed between the assassin and the remaining Partner...the Partner wants revenge, but it's not what you think. What viewers will see is a non stop action packed thrill ride of a movie..twists and turns galore..no one will see the ending coming..I do love that in a film!

Incredible Action
) 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
When I first saw the preview for a movie starring Jason Statham and Jet Li, my first reaction was that it was too good to be true.
...Then I saw the movie.
Not only does War deliver in action (though more Statham-Li fight scenes would have been nice), but War also sports a surprisingly well-written script and plot line. For the nay-sayers of "dumb action movies", this is not one of those!
Ironically, one of my favorite parts of the movie are the subtitles. The subtitles that switch from Japanese or Chinese characters into English as they are spoken are just simply cool.
The DVD offers a very good picture, audio, etc. and is an excellent DVD. There is not much more that I can say about this film, but I think you need to see it.

I bought this DVD to add to my collection of Jason Statham movies, I have followed this actor from Lock Stock 2 Smoking Barrels until this is latest work to date. This movie is also one oF Jet Li's better films and the 2 actors work very well together.

Couldn't wait to see this movie. I am a huge Jason Statham fan and this was definately one of his best movies so far. Jason and Jet Li have amazing fight scenes together and separately. The movie line got right to the point, there was no lingering around for 20 minutes until something started to happen, it got right to why we were watching. The fight sequences were awesome, very real. Story line was good with a great ending...which most movies don't have anymore. Highly recommended!!!

I initially bought this movie because it has John Lone in it. He is the man of my dreams! I also like his movies filmed in the US because I like the action. You will find a lot of it in this movie! I had never seen any movie with Jet Li until this one and I found him to be an impressive actor as well. It was a great purchase for me.

Jet Li does a great job with the little script that he has to work with. Thsi movie takes a great spin on an old adage about keeping you friends close and enemies closer. From start to finish, its a thrill ride that keeps you captivated out of sheer curiosity. Great film and worth the purchase. Of course, you can get it cheap on Ebay so why not get it.
