War (2007)

War is the wannabe cat and mouse movie about a FBI agent and the assassin 'Rouge' who killed his partner years ago. Intrigued more by Jason Statham and Devon Aoki being in this movie, than Jet Li as he's nowhere close to my favorite despite enjoying martial sequences every so often if done well. I think Statham is quite unappreciated, and he did well in both London, in Guy Ritchie's early works and the Transporter series.

Anyhoo. War isn't a specially enjoyable movie. It's trying to be smart and interesting, but it's rather plain and lacking the nerve it would have needed to succeed.
