WAR Film Review - 20/1/08

Jet Li plays the villainous Rogue up against hard-man FBI agent Jason Statham in this tale of colliding Triads & Yakuza which starts off with a bang and just keeps on going. From one almighty punch-up to the next the bullets zip across the screen peppering bodies like rag dolls and in between that it's hand-to-hand fighting, explosions of C4 and sword-fights galore. One cannot readily explain why the main hit-man for the Yakuza suddenly switches sides to the Triads then plays off both against each other until the jaw dropping finale when all is explained. A mightily enthusiastic actioner from all involved this is thoroughly entertaining amusement in all departments.

Having lost his partner to a hit-man's revenge attack an embittered FBI agent spends all his time in tracking down his killer and dispensing his own kind of "Justice" as the years pass he finally get's his chance - But are thing's what they seem? Available already on Region 1 (USA) DVD this came out on the 1/1/08 and will also be available on Region 2 (UK) DVD from the 4/2/08.
