War

Years after a partner's death leaves FBI agent Jack Crawford pursuing a shadowy killer, a mysterious assassin known as Rogue reappears with unfinished business. Crawford follows a trail that binds old vendettas to a fresh surge of violence as rival gangs clash in the city. Rogue moves with ice cold calculation, turning encounters into tests of nerve and skill, while Crawford pushes past red herrings to close in. The line between hunter and hunted blurs in the heat of the pursuit as loyalties shift and danger lurks. The city hums with danger as rival forces gather.

Released in 2007, War was directed by Philip G Atwell and based on an original screenplay by Lee Anthony Smith and Gregory J Bradley. Jet Li plays Rogue opposite Jason Statham as Special Agent Jack Crawford, delivering brisk action and gritty chase sequences. The performances balance martial flair with grounded moments that give the hunt a human edge.

Reception to War notes its relentless pace and martial choreography while some critics find the plotting thin in places. Viewers often praise Li and Statham's chemistry and the film's willingness to push stylistic boundaries within a familiar buddy pursuit framework. Themes center on vengeance and duty. Its lean backstory keeps momentum high and lets action scenes carry the mood, inviting viewers to fill in gaps about motive.

Fans of action cinema remember War for bringing Li and Statham together in a high velocity chase that blends martial arts with street level crime drama. The film contributed to a late 2000s wave of lean, kinetic thrillers and remains a touchstone for fans of the stars, influencing later crossover confrontations.

Box office numbers are not widely reported, indicating a modest commercial run that found most attention on home video and international markets rather than a big theatrical push.
