![War [Blu-ray] - Blu-ray - Jet Li - Jason Statham - New, sealed Action - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Zb0AAOSwkPRghuTF/s-l500.jpg)
Set in San Francisco, 'War' is a brutally savage revenge story; as FBI Agent Jack Crawford (Statham) seeks to bring down former CIA Assassin turned Freelance Contract Killer Rogue (Li); the man who killed his partner. He gets his chance when war breaks out between the City's Chinatown-Based Triads and their Rivals the Yakuza (Asian Mafia) who operate from San Francisco's "Yakuza District." Crawford detects Rogue's machinations in the destructive precision-based violence; confirmed by his discovery of one of the killer's trademark Titanium Shell Casings at a crime scene. The story is credited to two First-Time Screenwriters, Gregory J. Bradley and Lee Anthony Smith. The plot is not-simple; nor a joke; as intrigued connections intertwine the Rival Asian Mafia Groups; and frankly request you "pay-attention" or face getting-lost in brilliant storyline. The violence is brutal and carrying intensity not very reminiscent of scenes from other action movies. (Statham & Li inevitably bring the violence to a whole new level). Unfortunately, the only film fault is a bit of storyline twisting that comes a little too-late; making clear sense....but leaving you to wonder why this couldn't have been introduced just a bit earlier; which would clear up what seems (during the movie) to be unanswered storyline holes. Stick with the Film !!!! The holes all fill-in....and will leave you talking about this film for a while. Academy-Award Winner ?? NO !! Statham & Li "Tearing It Up" ?? Oh Yeah !! Face-Value Action with Detailed Storyline. Pay Attention - Won't Dissatisfy !!Read full review
without ruining anything, let's just say it's a good story with a twist! jet li has a grudge against those who killed his family and jason statham is trying to get even with those who killed his partner! each one knows each other and is somehow connected to japanese yakusia clan, but both have different agendas, both against the clan and towards each other! it all builds up and does have some predicability to their causes but this will eventually lead to a conclusive and climatic ending! great to watch and follow along until the end (but you don't have to take my word for it). i honestly didn't think it would be as good as i thought.
Jason Statham is a police detective caught in the middle of the worst tong-yakuza war in the city's history. Trying to put an end to the killing, he is foiled at every opportunity by this shadowy assassin (played by Li, in probably his first starring role as the villain). The killing soon turns towards the wives and children of the gangsters, and Statham is in a race against time to save the innocent from this heartless killer. The acting is excellent all around, the Blu-ray shines in pic quality. DO NOT see this movie if extreme violence (especially against children) is repugnant to you.
War was a decent action flick. It's not the best I've ever seen but I'm a Jet Li fan and wanted this blu-ray just because of him. This film had some interesting plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish there was more dialogue for Jet Li but there was only a little. It didn't really stretch his acting abilities. Jason Statham was convincing as the cop looking for justice. Both Li and Statham had some bad ass action sequences. War is a fitting title for this movie because pretty much everyone gets into the action. I think it's worth watching at least once if you like action/martial arts movies.
I expected so much better and was left disappointed. This is more of a violent shoot-em up than a creative Jet Li Kung-Fu action flic. Plot had some twists but the script and movie was average not great. The "Yakuza Fighter" game as a bonus is a joke. The Blu-Ray has a bunch of extras and the sound and picture quality is superb. If my review helps you make your buying or not buying decision please rate the review. It lets me know what people are looking for in a review. Thanks!
