    Good story, Okay movie
  • October 24, 2009
    it's pure adreniline-pumping action-packed entertainment. A stylish, cool, powerful and spectacular thrill-machine. A high-octane, hard-boiled and rock-solid action flick. Gripping and endlessly exhilerating. It's an action movie fans dream come true. A strong and amazing film. J...( read more)ason Statham and Jet Li are teriffic. Their acting is well done as are their phyisical commitments to the fight sequences. It's shocking, jaw-dropping and mind blowing. Thrilling, riveting and incrediably exciting. It's going to keep you kicking and screaming for more. Fuelled by tremendous non-stop action and electrifying suspense with twist and turns that will take your breath away to it's explosive conclusion. It's unstoppably heart-pounding and absolutely unforgettable. Adds lots of fuel to it's fire and never goes out for a second. It's one awsome standoff that you wont forget.

    one of the worst from Jet Li... didn't enjoy it at all.
  • April 6, 2009
    This is a very good and slick looking action flick. I thought it was gonna be a silly martial arts fest that goes straight to the video shop, but this is actually really good. It looks great, the action and stunts are gritty, real looking and believeable, unlike alot of Jet Li an...( read more)d Statham films. the plot is abit confusing here and there, lots of twists and revenge battles going on and the ending is alittle flat but the main twist is good. Very high body count and plenty of blood, with some lovely looking car chases for good measure. a surprising thumbs up.

    War could have been much better. The writing is this film is very poorly done. With a better written script, Statham and Li could have delivered an above average action flick. As it stands, this film is only an average action film. Skip unless you're a fan of Li and/or Statham.

    Confusing plot, hardly any martial arts with lots of "yeah right" moments but at least didn't see the end twist ahead of time. A one time watch that left me unsatisfied.

    Such a letdown. I went in thinking I'd see Jet Lee and Jason Statham fight each other, and came out crying when they didn't.

    Not a bad movie but i expected more from it sadly i didn't get what i wanted :s more and better action was needed in this one :..
  • October 10, 2009

    Casting is brilliant! The fight scenes are epic. I think the plot doesn't have any depth and there are twists that arent really needed in a film like this.

Armond White, The New York Press

[Jet] Li and [Jason] Statham's characters represent respect for life and art; they're also purifying a contaminated genre. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Not so much a narrative as a barrage of violent images designed to beat the brain into abject surrender. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

War is the Heat of cheesy Ameri-Euro-Asian kung-fu cop-crook movies. full review

    Yep.. this was truly disappointing. The more I think of the fight scenes that could have been, the more disappointed I feel.

    "I thought fearless was jet Li's kast movie". No it was his last Martial arts epic, in the vein of hero, or his earlier films like the Shoalin Temple seris. This simply means he is now doing thing that are more like action movies. In fact there are plans for 2 or 3 more movies allready in the pipework, incuding "The Mummy 3" and a film with Jackie Chan.
