One of the Best films created for the year 2000
Added 11/20/2009
Well first off let me start by saying I don't care what people say about the movie or Snipes, it was a great movie. For those who think different, they didn't really see the movie or botherd to take a look at the time frame of when it was created. I have seen almost all of Wesley's action films but this one is the best to date next to blade. From the suspence to the martial art action sequences, Snipes delivers. When watching the movie I understood exactly what was going on just by the actions of the characters alone. He worked for the UN and was setup by the UN is the whole story in a nut shell but the trip taking to find out the truth makes the movie worth watching. If your looking for some action that involves a twist of Martial arts and spy technology this is one film to add to your list. I only wish Wesley Snipes can bring that much energy and more in his films over the next few years(if of course he dosen't go to jail).

Great action flick

If you liked Art of War II, you need to see this one--not BETTER, but just as good. Lots of great action and unexpected twists with a very satisfactory ending. Don't hesitate to try this one.

Wish zero star was an option

I fast forwarded through most of the movie to get to the confirmation of who I knew were the "bad guys", which I had figured out in the first five minutes. The most annoying part of the movie is the voice of the main Asian female character. I swear it was like a bad voice over of a Japanese film! They used every cliche in the book - double crossing partners, sympathetic but hardened NY cop, a visit to the seedy mafia underbelly, etc. Skip it.

"Do you know who your enemy is"
Added 6/10/2009
First of all the average for this movie is outrageous. 2 and 1/2 stars for The Art Of War? Have you guys ever seen The Marksman? If you've seen that disaster then you've seen Wesley's worst movie. A three and 1/2 star average would be more realistic. Then again I tend to forget the bandwagoneers that I'm dealing with. These are the same pseudo-intellectuals that bash Crank Yankers for not having a plot not realizing that a show consisting of muppets and crank calls is not supposed to have a plot! At any rate....
Story: Neil Shaw is a special operatives agent for the U.N. His life takes a turn for the worst when he is framed for a murder of a political leader. From then on he searches for clues to who the real killer is along with a reluctant female accomplice(played by Marie Matiko).
I know that the movie has flaws and I'm aware that at times the story tends to get convoluted and drags a bit but I still like this movie. I cant help what I entertained by and I was entertained with this movie. Wesley was good as Neil Shaw and so was Michael Biehn(who looks a twin brother of Joe Pantoliano) is good as an associate turned enemy as well as Anne Archer. Look, this movie was meant to be a popcorn flick and on that level it succeeds. The action scenes are stylish and well choreographed and the story has holes and tends to be confusing sometimes. Its a trade off that I can live with. I've had more fun watching this movie than most of the overrated blockbusters of recent. If you can look past this movie's flaws and enjoy it for what it is then cool. If not why waste your time?
