War is all about revenge. Jason Statham is FBI Agent John Crawford. His partner Tom Lone (Terry Chen) is killed by a Yakuza assassin known was Rogue. Crawford is determined to take him down along with his bosses.
There are two parts of the movie. First is the cat and mouse game between Crawford and Rogue. Crawford does some investigating. Tracks down some leads. He even runs into Rogue one time who has a new identity. The other part is Rogue’s scheming. He leaves the Yakuza and goes to work for the Triads but its quickly apparent that he has his own plans. Can he carry them out before Crawford catches him?
This was also an interesting role for Li. Stratham by this time had become solely an action hero. Li’s Lone however mostly used a gun. There were only a few martial arts sequences until the end.
There’s also an unexpected twist at the end.
All together this makes War a very effective action flick.
