"The final cut of the picture looks as though someone pulled it apart in post-production and forgot how the pieces fit. It's not a total mess, but War tends to get dizzy trying to keep the plot afloat."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

2/4
"...War's relentlessly over-the-top visuals and hopelessly convoluted storyline ensure that it generally comes off as yet another needless entry within an exceedingly tired genre."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

1.5/4
"War is largely a yawner."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D+
"The fatal flaw of War ... is that I don't give two craps about anyone in it."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2.5/4
"This isn't great cinema, but it adequately fills a niche. Those who like their action loud and bloody won't be disappointed. There's a high body count and lots of explosions and, for some, that's what this is all about."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1.5/5
"Proefibikon prodiagrafon astynomiki peripeteia, me yperanalytiko epanalambanomeno senario anamenomenis plokis, tigka sta ftina kolpakia toy montaz gia petyhei ayto to cool binteoklipistiko"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

0.5/3
"Hacer una mala película de acción con Jet Li y Jason Statham parece complicado. [...] Y sin embargo, War demuestra que con tesón, todo es posible."  Off-Off-Critica  MalaBesta

1.5/4
"A cliff notes version of an action movie."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"[D]enies us the simple, brainless pleasure of watching these two guys get Oriental on each other's asses. It's like someone made Gamera vs. Mothra and, oops, forgot to give us two guys in rubber suits battling to the death."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"It's inexplicable that the filmmakers haven't given the stars many opportunities to pull out their celebrated skills en route to their inevitable head-on collision."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

2/5
"If it weren't for the last act, the film would have ended up being just as functional as any cheesy action film from the 80s."  Film Threat  Michael Ferraro

2/4
"Not exactly the Jet Li/Jason Statham battle royale we had been promised."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

1.5/4
"War is the Heat of cheesy Ameri-Euro-Asian kung-fu cop-crook movies."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"Acaba revelando, em seu ato final, um esforço intrigante para surpreender o espectador, a esta altura, já fomos obrigados a agüentar uma infinidade de diálogos desastrosos e seqüências frouxas de ação e pouco pode ser feito para salvar o filme."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

1.5/5
"If you've seen the trailer, then you've already seen a much more entertaining version of War."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg
