It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This might have been a good movie, especially if you have no interest in the dialog or plot of the movie. The music in this movie is so overpowering that the dialog and therefore the plot is lost. I'm partially deaf and I use hearing aids with blue tooth yet, all I am able to hear is music blasted over most of the dialog.
FBI Agents Jack Crawford and his partner Tom Lone have been hunting a killer known only as Rogue and they think they have finally killed him however there is no body. Shortly afterwards Tom, along with his wife and young child are murdered; Crawford is convinced that Rogue is alive and behind the killing. Three years later Rogue is back. He appears to have turned against his former employer, Yakuza boss Shiro and is be working for Triad leader Chang or perhaps he is playing both against the other for motives that aren't immediately obvious. Crawford is soon on the case determined to catch the man who killed his friend.If you want action either Jason Statham or Jet Li will be guaranteed to deliver the goods so when they are cast against each other you know you should be in for something fun! They are both on good form with Statham doing a fine job as Crawford and Li making an impressive bad guy. These two characters are of equal importance as we spend time with each of them. The rest of the cast are pretty good too. Crawford's story is the more conventional as he is merely after revenge while Rogue is intriguing as he plays two different groups of gangsters against each other in much the same way as the protagonist in 'Yojimbo', or its better known remake 'A Fistful of Dollars' did. There is a lot of solid action; this includes shootings, car chases, martial arts and even some impressive sword fights. This action is fairly bone-crunching at times. When we learn the truth about Rogue it comes as quite a surprise and is quickly followed by a second unexpected twist; while these twist do seem a little unlikely they didn't spoil the film for me. Overall I'd recommend this to anybody wanting some good solid action.
When War came out, it was pretty much a flop!I don't know how though, with superstars Jet Li and Jason Statham, along with a host of other well known faces, plenty of action and a dark plot of revenge and dirty cops.I didn't really like it upon its release, all but a few fights that come about eventually, and still after re-watching it a number of years later, I still can't seem to find a spot for it!Its not that anything in particular is wrong with it, its just that there is something so unappealing that just does't seem to carry the wow factor like most of said stars other films do.The actors are great, the action is great, the plot okay. But something is missing that makes this probably the weaker one of the Statham/Li action flicks, which is a shame really.One watch is enough, but it does nothing to bring you back!
If the ending of this movie was somewhat different with happy ending, then It would have been a much better story, it would have been very satisfying one. The story with all the actions and allot of twists in betrayal and double standards and revenge are great. It does portray about crooked law enforcers and aftermaths. Martial Arts is really well played and exotic cars and charisma. This movie was really good with all the suspense and action and I was about to rate it 9 over10 but the story although was mystery which was great also and allot of excitements.. But the ending of the story killed it .was very lame it ruined the ending it made me rate it down to 6 over 10
