War

Bringing together two very popular actors should, if the stars are aligned correctly, be a powerful and fun movie to watch. But the one thing that most people in the industry don't understand is that you need an engrossing story to go along with the actors, or the audience is going to get bored rather quickly. Which brings us to this film, with actors like Jet Li and Jason Statham, both of whom have outstanding careers in the action genre, you'd almost believe that this would be a blockbuster of a movie. But you can't have everything you want, because if you did every movie would be a success and there'd be no failures. We can't have that now can we, we'd never know what was truly good.
A year after his partner is killed, FBI agent Jack Crawford is still searching for the killer known as Rogue and he's determined to go through who ever he has too to find and kill him. The fight sequences that in the film are very well choreographed, and in some ways very reminiscent of the action films of the Asian cinema. Yet the confrontation between Li and Statham's characters is limited and very short, you'd expect since the whole story is about their confrontation there would be a little bit more effort in the final battle. The complex story that is presented here is very well thought out, with all of the twists and turns of a good drama and fight scenes that come up just when their needed, you're left with a pretty decent film.
Li has more elaborate fight sequences in this story where Statham plays a more dramatic role, this set up slows the story down and it seems to take forever to get to the final battle. This film is by far not a bad movie, it's has all of the elements that an action film needs and twists in the story to keep an audience's attention. The biggest problem is the confrontation between the two main characters, the battle is to short, not complex enough, but most of all by the end of the story your left wanting and for an action film that's not a good thing.
