Amazon.com:
The Art of War is the first action movie with a hero who works for the United Nations--the U.N. Covert Operations Unit, to be specific. Who knew there was such a thing? Wesley Snipes plays Shaw, their top operative, who's unafraid of dropping several stories from one ledge of a skyscraper to another. When the Chinese ambassador is assassinated, it threatens the stability of an impending trade agreement that the secretary-general (played by Donald Sutherland) has worked so hard to achieve. Shaw gets arrested for the assassination, but who's really responsible? Is it the wily Chinese capitalist? A seemingly affable FBI agent? Only a lovely U.N. interpreter (Marie Matiko) believes he's innocent, especially when someone tries to knock her off and Shaw is the only person she can turn to... well, you get the idea. The script is neither original nor comprehensible, but that's not why you'd want to watch a movie like The Art of War--it's the action. And the action is pretty good, particularly earlier on when the confusions of the plot don't matter as much. Michael Biehn (The Terminator, The Rock) does a serviceable job as one of Shaw's associates, Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction, Clear and Present Danger) tries to seem complicated as the head of the Covert Operations Unit, and Maury Chaykin (The Mask of Zorro, Devil in a Blue Dress) is dependable as ever as the FBI guy. --Bret Fetzer

Well first off let me start by saying I don't care what people say about the movie or Snipes, it was a great movie. For those who think different, they didn't really see the movie or botherd to take a look at the time frame of when it was created. I have seen almost all of Wesley's action films but this one is the best to date next to blade. From the suspence to the martial art action sequences, Snipes delivers. When watching the movie I understood exactly what was going on just by the actions of ... Read More

If you liked Art of War II, you need to see this one--not BETTER, but just as good. Lots of great action and unexpected twists with a very satisfactory ending. Don't hesitate to try this one.

I fast forwarded through most of the movie to get to the confirmation of who I knew were the "bad guys", which I had figured out in the first five minutes. The most annoying part of the movie is the voice of the main Asian female character. I swear it was like a bad voice over of a Japanese film! They used every cliche in the book - double crossing partners, sympathetic but hardened NY cop, a visit to the seedy mafia underbelly, etc. Skip it.

First of all the average for this movie is outrageous. 2 and 1/2 stars for The Art Of War? Have you guys ever seen The Marksman? If you've seen that disaster then you've seen Wesley's worst movie. A three and 1/2 star average would be more realistic. Then again I tend to forget the bandwagoneers that I'm dealing with. These are the same pseudo-intellectuals that bash Crank Yankers for not having a plot not realizing that a show consisting of muppets and crank calls is not supposed to have a plot! ... Read More
