	Media	Author	Review
		Ken Fox TV Guide	"Everything a fan could want: gunplay, swordfights, brutal mano a mano fisticuffs, motorcycle races, car chases, Japanese gangsters eating sushi off of topless women"
		Entertainment Weekly	"There are few cinematic crimes more heinous than making a boring action movie. Sadly, that's what the first hour of Triads-versus-Yakuza thriller War is."
		Nathan Rabin AV Club	"In spite of a late-game adrenaline surge, the hoped-for fireworks between Li and Statham never quite materialize."
		Joe Leydon Variety	"Quickly devolves into a standard-issue crime drama laced with routine martial artistry."
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Lacking even the galvanizing action sequences that would have compensated for suffering through its formulaic plot, this is a thoroughly forgettable exploitationer that will not enhance its stars' resumes."
		Andy Webster The New York Times	"'War' squanders the considerable merits of its leads."
