Pitting Hong Kong legend Jet Li against UK tough guy Jason Statham seems like a surefire way to generate on-screen heat; and action fans will get a good deal of just that from the action-heavy War. Unfortunately; they also have to slog through a clich?d-riddled story about world-weary FBI agent Statham; who's gunning for Li; the master assassin that killed his partner years before; and who's currently neck-deep in a turf war between yakuza and triad gangs. Philip G. Atwell's style-over-substance direction doesn't help matters either; though he does have a way with shootouts and other combative set pieces. As for Li and Statham; their scenes together are surprisingly limited; there's also a twist in the film's final third that begs for serious suspension of disbelief. In short; those that found the duo's last movie team-up (2001's The One) lacking won't find much here to supplant that memory. The DVD includes three commentary tracks: one by Atwell; one by screenwriters Lee Anthony Smith and Gregory J. Bradley (it's the liveliest of the lot) and an audio trivia track that delves deep into the film's production; which is also covered in detail by nine separate featurettes. A gag reel and deleted/extended scenes round out the supplemental features. -- Paul Gaita
