This is Jet Li’s final final action movie (wasn’t Fearless supposed to be his final martial arts movie?).

The story has been told many times over; Clint Eastwood’s A Fistful of Dollars (Old West) and Bruce Willis’ Last Man Standing (Irish and Italian mobsters) both come to mind. In War, a mysterious “Rogue” (I’m sorry, but the name is ludicrous) deals with the Triads and Yakuza.

Not much else to say without spoiling what little there is to spoil. War has everything you’d expect:

• Impatient young Asian gangster chafing against the orders of older seasoned gangster.
• Asian gangsters dressed in expensive black suits.
• Asian gangsters riding fast motorcycles and driving fast cars.
• FBI watching the gangs take each other out.
• A half-hearted attempt at a plot twist.

This movie was barely worth the $10 ticket price.
