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

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 28, 2020

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 5, 2019

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.

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 16, 2008

[A] routine crime thriller.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 25, 2007

It's inexplicable that the filmmakers haven't given the stars many opportunities to pull out their celebrated skills en route to their inevitable head-on collision.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 14, 2007

Considering the extent of action/fight/chase/shootout and stunts, the film seems to drag a bit. But then I like my action films to have good stories and interesting characters.

All together now: 'War! Hurgh! What is it it good for?'

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2007

Badly plotted, poorly directed action flick - it's no surprise this wasn't shown to critics before its release.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 29, 2007

War is a big dumb potboiler that manages the almost impossible trick of making explosions, swordfights and car chases actually seem boring.

| Sep 28, 2007

Like its leading men, War's got a few handy moves up its sleeve, but when the dust-ups clear it emerges underwritten and over-cranked.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2007

What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

| Original Score: 1/6 | Sep 28, 2007

Li and Statham (and the audience) deserve better.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2007

... more proof that bad writing and directing can overwhelm any amount of talent elsewhere.

Full Review | Sep 12, 2007

A cliff notes version of an action movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 9, 2007

There is a lot of talent in front of the camera in this mess -- Statham, Li, Lone, Aoki, Luis Guzman, Saul Rubinek, and the always cool Sung Kang -- and they are all wasted. Those actors deserve a better movie. So does the audience.

First-time feature director Atwell clearly displays skills he picked up directing videos for Eminem and 50 Cent.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 31, 2007

The story is threadbare...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 31, 2007

The final cut of the picture looks as though someone pulled it apart in post-production and forgot how the pieces fit. It's not a total mess, but War tends to get dizzy trying to keep the plot afloat.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 31, 2007
