Art of War

Pros: Nice exteriors in Asia...
Cons: ...don't make up for a horrendous movie

The Island of Misfit Toys portrayed in the classic animation Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, posits that there are plenty of places in the world for an unloved gift. Unfortunately, no amount of holiday magic will rescue the Wesley Snipes...

Pros: A lot of good suspense moments.
Cons: Translation too small to read.

A Warner Brothers Production

Art of War was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, but with three kids I had to wait for it on video/DVD. I had added it to my rent list a...

Pros: I never have to watch it again.
Cons: Only the script, direction, plot, pacing and cast.

Apparently content to stock his resume with the worst theatrical releases possible, Wesley Snipes returns again in The Art of War. Anyone hoping that this one would be an improvement on his TV movie-esque Murder at 1600 would be sorely...

Pros: Wesley Snipes demeanor!
Cons: Very violent, but good.

I've read the book, The Art of War by Sun Tze and thought it interesting to find out there was a movie of the same name. I am not often a fan of books adapted into movies because just like the recent movie to be released on the big screen, ...

Pros: Snipes never fails us! Great Action With an interesting story too.
Cons: Complex plot, not a good movie to watch with chattering friends.

I rented this movie for one reason, Wesley Snipes. He never seems to let me down. I didn't even realize what a serious fan of his I was until I started thinking about his films, Passenger 57, Murder at 1600, Blade, Demolition Man. All excellent movie,...

Pros: Very little.
Cons: Bad script. Bad acting.

I’ve always found it interesting when Hollywood hauls out a few big names to do a movie production. In my experience, it means one of two things:

a. This movie will be a blockbuster.
b. This movie is so sad it needs the help of a...

Pros: None.
Cons: Too many to count, but the primary one is pure boredom.

I'm afraid that, this time around, I have no pithy remarks or interesting tidbits of trivia to offer. All I can do is offer you the urgent warning to stay away, far away, from this movie. It is unadulterated garbage, thoroughly boring not only because...

Pros: good direction, snipes' acting, plot
Cons: the over-long ending action sequence

The Art of War looked like great fun. Wesley Snipes, after his earlier flops such as Murder at 1600 or To Wong Foo...which I enjoyed, but didn't do well at the box office(granted, he's had a number of recent successes as well, such...

Pros: A few good shots.
Cons: Botched, muddled direction and excessively formulaic.

August 2000 has been one of the worst months for original releases that we've had to endure in years. In fact, I can’t recall a month comparable to its depravity. Studios refer to the summer season’s final month as the dog days of August, and in the...

Pros: action, excitement, people getting shot in the head.
Cons: holy god, where do I begin.

You know that commercial that asks, "Do ya ever get the feeling some people have just given up?"

"The Art of War" is the corresponding movie to the question.

First of all, it's a spy movie. It already has...

Pros: Wesley Snipes, good plot and script, wild action.
Cons: I'm thinking, I'm thinking ... ... .

[Revisions are in brackets.] If there is a bad or boring Wesley Snipes film, I haven't seen it ye ...

Pros: A cool title based on the famous work by Sun Tzu
Cons: Extremely bad writing and directing; Very little action in a so-called action picture

His name is Snipes, Wesley Snipes. Unfortunately in this badly written film, he doesn't have a chance to show off his talents.



The plot:
Neil Shaw (Wesley Snipes) is part of a covert ops department of the United...

Pros: "Kung Fu Snipes"; Great camera angles
Cons: CONFUSING; Bad Ending

Despite the good trailer, Art of War could have been better if Wesley Snipes kept himself cool! I mean is Wesley Snipes Superman? When heated He never seems to be hurt even though he is 50-100 meters from an explosion! However, an hour later, the action...

Pros: Good action scenes
Cons: Confusing plot

Pros: Exceptional Acting, Lots of Action

The draw for me of this film was, of course, Wesley Snipes. Also, I went to see it with my two sons who are action fans. I am not a big fan, but I have to admit that I really enjoyed this movie. It was fun to watch the quickness of Shaw [Snipes] as he...
