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

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

Pros: Good action sequences, interesting plot, Snipes
Cons: This story line has been in soooo many other films
Summary: As a lover of action flicks, I found The Art of War to be a great movie. Wesley Snipes played the role greatly, and developed a strong feel. Here it goes...as private security at a United Nations conference on trade with China, Snipes and his gang were ... read more

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

Pros: Nothing
Cons: A cornucopia of wasted work and money
Summary: Last year served as home to one of the greatest cinematic achievements in visual effects. Whatever you may think of the story or plodding of The Matrix, there is no question as to where that film took special effects. And, like any other fine ... read more

Pros: Wesley Snipes is still a good actor.
Cons: He doesn't prove it here.
Summary: There's a sense of disappointment that comes with watching most Wesley Snipes movies. After all, here's an actor who has shown his range in a wide variety of roles (The Waterdance, White Men Can't Jump, To Wong Foo…) yet who keeps persisting on starring ... read more

Pros: Decend Fight sequences
Cons: No big surprises
Summary: A few years ago, I saw Wesley Snipes start to show his "martial arts" prowess- in Passenger 57. At the time, you could tell that he was a beginner. Over the years, though, Snipes has begun to master many of the more flasher moves and blocks- to the ... read more

Pros: A couple of okay action sequences.
Cons: Poor script, poor acting, almost no suspense, and bad bluescreen effects.
Summary: Poor Wesley!
He's still looking for a blockbuster role that will be forever synonymous with his name. Unfortunately, his best work may be in his past. His two best films to date are Jungle Fever and New Jack City. Period.
Wesley is good ... read more

Pros: Very little.
Cons: Bad script. Bad acting.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Some cool action sequences
Cons: Too much convenience for some parts
Summary: The Art of War bombed at th box office. Had it been a lower budget film, it may have made money. I think it ended up pulling in around 30-40 million, which is not that bad, all things considered.
The Art of War is about the trade ... read more

Pros: I rented it and didn't buy it.
Cons: Can't tell you them all since I couldn't stand to get past halftime.
Summary: Let me say that I almost didn't write an epinion on this movie. Why not you might ask? Well, I could not stand to get past half of it, and shut it off. The last time I wrote an epinion like this the readers got angry and gave me negative ratings because ... read more

Pros: Action, some good styles of showing the story
Cons: Dialogue seems to scripted to be said by the actors/actresses
Summary: I don't know what I just said, but anyways, this movie is with a story and some action packed into it too.
The cast is okay, does what the story asks them to, and there are some good scenes in the movie.

Pros: good action
Cons: confusing at times, boring at times
Summary: I never really know what to expect from a Wesley Snipes movie. Some of his movies are very good and some are average or worse. You just never know. In the Art of War you get sort of the average movie. It has some good action but nothing that really ... read more

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

Pros: action filled, good stunts
Cons: some stunts unrealistic
Summary: I think Art of War deserved more recognition. It was theatrically distributed in limited theatres. Wesley Snipes plays a secret agent involved in covert operations with members of the Presidential cabinet, the UN and China. The story line becomes a ... read more

Pros: Donald Sutherland
Cons: Plot
Summary: I apologize for the somewhat pedestrian title. However, I did so to illustrate a point. If you were to ponder my title you would learn it makes no sense. Basically, i chose it because I didn't really want to put much thought into it. Why do I tell ... read more
