War is a big dumb potboiler that manages the almost impossible trick of making explosions, swordfights and car chases actually seem boring. Full Review |

Like its leading men, War’s got a few handy moves up its sleeve, but when the dust-ups clear it emerges underwritten and over-cranked. Full Review |

Acaba revelando, em seu ato final, um esforço intrigante para surpreender o espectador, a esta altura, já fomos obrigados a agüentar uma infinidade de diálogos desastrosos e seqüências frouxas de ação e pouco pode ser feito para salvar o filme. Full Review |

It's inexplicable that the filmmakers haven't given the stars many opportunities to pull out their celebrated skills en route to their inevitable head-on collision. Full Review |

... more proof that bad writing and directing can overwhelm any amount of talent elsewhere. Full Review |
