Movie Description
Set in San Francisco amidst a feud between the Japanese yakuza and Chinese Triad criminal factions, director Philip G. Atwell's WAR stars Jet Li as the enigmatic assassin Rogue, and Jason Statham as Jack Crawford, an F.B.I. agent determined to track him down. As the prime suspect in the murder of Crawford's partner, the elusive Rogue uses the mayhem of gang warfare to his advantage, even as the gruff lawman closes in on his trail, leading to a dramatic showdown.


Although Li and Statham have shared the screen before in THE ONE, this is the first film to give the two stars equal billing. While Li has little to say in the movie, his actions speak volumes; he plays Rogue with a sleek menace that contrasts nicely with Statham's gruff, no-nonsense presence. WAR is the debut studio film from hip-hop-video director Philip G. Atwell (best known for his work with Eminem and 50 Cent). It moves at a brisk, quick-cut pace, and benefits from fight choreography by veteran Chinese actor/director Corey Yuen. Though martial-arts fans may be slightly disappointed by the movie's focus on gunplay, one of its centerpieces, a furious swordfight that showcases Li's stunning dexterity, is sure to please aficionados of Hong Kong-style kinetics.

      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 !!
