Great Movie

I just love Jason Statham's movies. He gives it a lot of action and excitement. I would recommend this movie to my friends and family.War (Widescreen Edition)

War ( Blu-ray )

first off,i am a big Jet Li fan,so everything he makes I'm gonna rate high,i watch War on my PS3 via my Full HD LCD and i must say the high def picture quality from Lionsgate is perfect,color contrast also brilliant,to the surround soundtrack you have a choice of PCM 7.1 or Dolby Digital Surround EX,i chose the PCM 7.1 soundtrack and boy i was in audio heaven.you can hear the separation from surround side and surround back,the movie itself was also brilliant from director Philip G Attwell,which also directed The Up In Smoke Tour,i must also admit the end was a little confusing,but overall a very enjoyable movie

Two Great Action Heroes But No Real Fights Between Them

Jason Statham stars as a cop with grief after loosing his partner in a shootout. The man responsible is an assassin named rogue, Statham's character takes it personal and is on the run after him. Simple premise but gets a bit confusing thru the course of the film
When I first saw the trailer for this movie I thought this was goanna be the next big action movie in a long time. Really you have Jet Li on one side who is an extraordinary martial artist and on the other you have also another great action hero Jason Statham what can go wrong? Well for starters the problem here is the pace of the story, it's very slow and it feels too familiar. For the first hour there really isn't any action, I was constantly trying to stay wake. The movie isn't completely bad, it's actually recovers its pace at the end, around the last half hour it becomes one gruesome action movie. From a cool car chase scene, to a shootout at a bar, and the last fight scene involving katanas. But when it comes to the fight scenes that you want to see between Statham and Li they are not what you're expecting. The movie does redeem itself big time with its final twist which will surely have you thinking during the credits. But other than that it seems and feels as if the writers didn't take much time with it. Rent it

MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 OUT OF 5

7.1 Soundtrack

I brought this title for a training event. It was one of only a few that actually has a legit 7.1 channels of sound. While the movie itself was "so-so", the disc has a good menu and very comprehensive. I did find that the disc heavily uses flash menus and this made the menu navigation a little jerky, but this is a player thing. I found that A PS3 navigates these menu's easily.
If you want to have a 7.1 surround sound track and have a receiver that can handle it, this is a good disc. I couldn't say that there was one track I used as they are all a little lame, but if you hunt through, you can 'A-B' some good bits...
