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

The best thing about this movie is the poster, which recalls the posters of the thrillers of the '70s.
The second best thing is the trailer, which makes it seem silly, but a little fun, like a cheap thrill.
You'll observe that neither the poster nor the trailer are actually IN the movie.
This movie is worse than just bad, but not bad in an even somewhat amusing way. This is the most poorly directed movie I have ever seen. There is no point of view, there is ... Read More

I enjoyed this movie. It is a shame that his persona gives a bad impression. This was a pretty good dvd for under $10. Decent story just enough violence that you and your girlfriend/wife can watch without flinching.

'The Art of War' starring Wesley Snipes is a superior action/adventure tale about an international conspiracy involving United Nations "One World Insiders", the FBI, high level Chinese politicians and Asian Triad gangs. Neil Shaw (Wesley Snipes) is a U.N. secret agent caught in the middle of a growing mystery which seems centered around the arrival of an important Chinese Ambassador and his entourage in New York.
Also involved is a lovely Chinese national named Julia Fang (Marie Matiko) ... Read More

This is a typical hollywood movie, in both good and bad way. First, the budget is big, the premise thought provoking, and the actions scenes well directed. Those are the good parts.
The bad includes the casting: wesley snipes is black, his boss is female, his love interest is an asian diplomat w a nose ring, and his sidekick a cop who while theoretically italian is obviously jewish and speaks in yinglish. More hollywood postive discrimination than you can shake a stick at. Also the plot ... Read More
