The Art of War

Hey, it is an action flick with Wesley Snipe, what could go wrong? I mean, even if the story is not good, we get a lot of kung-fu action right? WRONG. This film is ranked up there with any of the Nicholas Cage and Bruce Willis B movie, if not worse. Literally I have no idea what was going on at the half point mark. The story is convoluted, the dialog is dumb, and there were barely any action. And I think for some reason they forgot to add in music through most of the film? Literally it was just dead silence in the back in parts where we needed some sort of mood music. I rarely give out ones, but... this one takes the cake.

What a big piece of bull. This must be the worst action movie I've seen in years. Horrible acting, horrible story, horrible level of "realism". Oh my, just skip this M:I-alike cra*, you won't regret it. My rating: **** out of 10 - "hell, what's that?"

Yet another one of those movies that follows the same old in and out... good guy saves the world from the evil politician. Given that Snipes is the ultimate plain-clothed 'good'-guy... but I find it hard to believe that he has managed to dig himself into the rut of receiving ONLY this type of script. I know it sounds strange... but throughout the whole movie... I was constantly reminded of US Marshalls! Go figure! The plot is slightly unbelievable... but has some fabulous twists in it. It makes you think... which is nice... better than the latest Barney release. It was nice to see New York City used to it's fullest capability. Fabulous shots of this magnificent city. All in all... I think this is a very good movie... one that I would definitely add to my DVD collection for one of those rainy nights with the boyfriend and a bottle of wine. 4 flaps out of 5! FD

This movie uses an excellent story,and the acting and action fights and choreography are real good. It uses some elements from movies like Matrix, yeah, so what, it doesnt matter. The story is the best of it, the directing by Christian Duguay is superb, since the movie The assignment, he just gets better at what he does. This movie is not a landmark though is just a real good action movie with a real good story.

but soon goes into a third rate action pic which builds up to not very much at all.this movie snipes has done many times before and if you like snipes you are better off watching US Marshals which has a similar plot better script and more entertainment value

This movie has all the standard special effects, action and violence one can stomach. The story line is a little hard to swallow and the bottom line is pitiful. If our country were left to the kind of characters portrayed in this movie, God help us. Hollywood would have us believe that corruption is running rampart, especially where politics are concerned. If we have these kinds of criminal minds at work for us, we need to concentrate on a whole new govenment rather than watching movies. And I love movies. The Art of War, if you don't try to analyze it, is at best entertaining.

This average (but no more than average) action movie has many plot twists and turns, but is ultimately very predictable in its outcome. The plot holes are numerous, with various things left unexplained. The chase scenes are pretty boring, some of the stunts strain credibility (to say the least) and the bullet-dodging sequence towards the end is just plain ludicrous. The Snipes movies in a similar vein - "Passenger 57" and "Murder At 1600" - were far superior efforts. And can anyone name a movie apart from (if my memory serves me correctly) "Navy Seals" in which the character played by Michael Biehn DOESN'T get killed? And before you all shout "Aliens", remember that they killed him off in the opening 5 seconds of "Alien 3" so that doesn't count!!

This movie stinks. Never have I felt so bored in my whole life! The reason is that of bad directing and lame characters that I didn't even cared about. Wesley Snipes is totally wasted here. Cheezy lines ran rampant, reminiscent of those Van-Damme movies. I have seen over 5000 movies in my lifetime, good and bad ones, and this movie ranks up as one of the worst bigger budgeted films out there. Heck, it doesn't help that this movie is just a plain, racist, good old fashioned Hollywood movie who depicts Asians as the bad guys who will never ever be accepted as normal human beings. Boy what fun, its like being transported into the 1930's. Thanks goodness Jet Li refused to do this film in the first place. Hollywood should wake up and smell their own dirty underwear. So save your money and don't make the same mistake as I did. If you want really good action films, rent ones from Chinatown releases with Chow Yun-Fat in it.

Have you ever wondered how the United Nations is able to keep the peace as well as it does? We find out in this movie that they have a secret espionage group led in the office by Anne Archer and in the field by Wesley Snipes. Wesley is great as the Bond impersonator framed for the murder of a Chinese ambassador and now on the run from Chinese terrorists and American Federal Agents. There are plenty of twists and turns that sometimes border on being hard to follow but the action is what moves this one along. Wesley is able to showcase much of his martial arts skills to their finest abilities in this.
