After his partner is brutally murdered by the infamous assassin Rogue, FBI agent Jack Crawford vows to find the elusive killer and personally avenge his partner's death. But Rogue proves untraceable until three years later, when he resurfaces to ignite a bloody turf war between Chinese mob leader Chang and Japanese Yakuza boss Shiro. Eager to capture Rogue once and for all, Crawford leads his team of crime specialists headlong into the conflict. But Crawford's thirst for vengeance jeopardizes his professional judgment, and as the violence escalates, Crawford finally comes face-to-face with his enemy to discover that nothing about Rogue or his plan is quite what it seems.

Cool idea - Yakuza vs. Triad in America with an unstoppable "rogue" operative who was working for one side then unexpectedly starts wiping out the other side. Compelling and interesting action flick that you can just turn your brain off... that is until the last 15 minutes. The movie jars you with a ridiculous and non-sensical twist that is like hitting the audience with a 2x4. The ending is so absurd that it caused my brain to switch back on and realize that this was a terrible movie. For the first 90% of the movie, I give it a 5.
Alejandro R. gave it a7:
The action in this movie was pretty good, it had swords, guns, and hand-to-hand combat. It also had some twists, which were entertaining. The ending had many people in the theater confused. I was looking forward to more fights between Jet Li and Jason Statham. The plot was pretty interesting. Either you are gonna love or hate the ending, no in betweens.

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.
Mangopork gave it a7:
Imperfect, but fun. Jet Li's viciousness and smart character manipulation really makes the film. Some fight scenes could have been better, camerawork needed some widening, but otherwise a very enjoyable popcorn action flick - with a better than average plot for a film in this genre. Recommended.

Why is Jason Statham so popular in Hollywood? This concept that he, or Vinnie Jones, can carry a movie is laughable.
James R gave it a2:
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.
