POW!!!! War is shocked with action. But that's all. Just action. You've gotta' be kiddin' me. Who would think of a stupid story like this. Jason Statham actually had a pretty good role, but the plot was terribly written. POW!!!! War is shocked with action. But that's all. Just action. You've gotta' be kiddin' me. Who would think of a stupid story like this. Jason Statham actually had a pretty good role, but the plot was terribly written. All it was was this chinese guy killed Statham's partner and wants to take revenge. Just too obvious. I think the Director of Epic Movie would do better, even though that one was still a complete mess. War, I think not. Not much of a war to me. They should have called it Revenge of the Partner, sounds kind of pathetic but still. I think it could've been better on a whole pack of other ways.… Expand

This was a by the numbers shitty boring flick. So predictable, and unlikeable. At the end of the movie the entire audience yelped a loud WHAT??? Absolutely terrible.

The director took a fair story and botched it and Jason Strathorns career, setting them both back a couple of years.

Why is Jason Statham so popular in Hollywood? This concept that he, or Vinnie Jones, can carry a movie is laughable.

War is lacklustre in many regards, with the storytelling, characterisation and acting leaving a lot to be desired. You could forgive this little B-movie for these shortcomings if it managed to entertain in other ways, but generally War justWar is lacklustre in many regards, with the storytelling, characterisation and acting leaving a lot to be desired. You could forgive this little B-movie for these shortcomings if it managed to entertain in other ways, but generally War just isn't enough fun. The action is all competent, and both the Li/Statham car chase and their close-quarters fight at the finale is well-handled, but the set pieces are over too briefly, and are surprisingly infrequent for a film of this type. It's also disappointing that a film that pitches Jet Li and Jason Statham, two of the most talented martial artists currently working on film, against each other and doesn't give them many opportunities to demonstrate their considerable combined talent - in most scenes they are reduced to taking pot-shots at each other rather than getting up close and personal. Aside from a couple of stand-out set-pieces, and Statham giving off his usual gravelly charm, War is a largely dull affair, with a flimsy plot, terrible acting and staggering cultural insensitivity. For a film like this to work, it needs something extra - whether it's more memorable and stylish action, a bit of humour thrown in or a better script, and it certainly cannot take itself as seriously as War does.… Expand

War is a film with an unintelligible plot, very basic characters and not very abundant action scenes.

In short, a disastrous film.
