Product Description

Product Description

Neil Shaw (Wesley Snipes) is an American agent working undercover for the United Nations in order to uncover a plot to bring the UN down, on the eve of historic talks with China in the New York harbour. When Chinese refugees are found dead in a container a series of events culminates in the killing of the Chinese U.N. Ambassador. Shaw is accused of the murder, forced to go undercover to clear his name and can only trust one person to help him, a beautiful U.N. translator (Marie Matiko) who may have the clues to a global conspiracy plot.

From Amazon.co.uk

Poorly received on its theatrical release, The Art of War is a film which deserves a second look. Plot-wise it's a routinely complicated thriller full of double-crosses and sudden shifts of perspective, as Wesley Snipes, secret fixer for the UN, tries to find out who killed the Chinese Ambassador to stop a trade pact and what it is that interpreter Marie Matiko knows that means people are trying to kill her. There are good performances here--Donald Sutherland as a Secretary General who takes good care not to know what is done in the name of peace, Anne Archer as Snipes' power-dressed controller, and Maury Chaykin as a world-weary FBI man who finds himself dragged around New York in Snipes' high-speed wake--but what is memorable is the look of the film. Presenting a New York of building sites and mirrored apartment buildings and rain on glass in twilight, contemporary techno-noir has never been quite so coherently imagined and set.

On the DVD: This is a film which comes into its own in widescreen and on DVD simply because its visual aspect is most of the point. This disc is not generous with features, simply providing scene access and the theatrical trailer, which makes rather more reference to Sun Tzu's classic of military strategy than the film ever bothers to. However, its combination of Dolby Sound and 2.35:1 widescreen ratio plays to the movie's strengths. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 starsA calculating, nitrous techno thriller
By A Customer on 16 Jun. 2001
Format: DVD
If you enjoy techno-thrillers, such as the film adaptions of Tom Clancy's books, you will find The Art of War intriguing and--at times-- downright clever.
This little gem bypassed the cinema-goers last year, which is a shame. Then again this IS an intelligent, thought provoking ride... In short James Bond meets Enemy of the State.

4.0 out of 5 starsOnce again Snipes to the rescue
By A Customer on 30 Jun. 2001
Format: DVD
Wesley snipes is enjoying himself. Your reveiwer was suprised to see that such a promising actor in the days of his early hits (jungle fever, new jack city)was probably more comfortable with the action hero tag than straight acting. He's definately done himself out of an oscar. But hey he's happy and why not? Because as an action hero, he's one of the best. Not only an accomplished Martial arts expert but a fine actor too, with enough emotional range to hang with the best of them. That's why he makes this movie.The plot is a clever one and I guess, was probably more complex in it's original form (a book I guess) than the film actually is. The hi tech spy thing has been done a million times over but I don't think that even Mission Impossble or Mr Bond himself have ever been this clever. The action is heavy, snipes looks good, his little chinese sidekick is fine, though I wish she actually had more attitude than the movie initially suggests. All in all a good movie. Why oh why it didn't recieve any major hype in british cinemas I'll never know, but for a stylish, well photographed polictical/spy/action thriler you can't go wrong. My only gripe is that the chinese are given a rough deal and the sentiment almost borders on racism. But credit to snipes wherever this movies fails, snipes comes to the rescue.

2.0 out of 5 starsAudacious Opening, frantic middle, got lost from then on...
By Tim Kidner TOP 500 REVIEWER on 7 Aug. 2012
Format: DVD
The opening sequence of a Millennium eve Party at midnight, with cameras twirling and hovering above a very expensive-looking set, Wesley Snipes gets ready for action. Very impressive, very promising...so far.

Big issues and very important subjects - a Chinese Ambassador is bribed (by showing him in a 'compromising position' live on big screen at said party) and hey ho, he manages to get North and South Korea back around the negotiating table. Damn! Politics is SO easy, sometimes!

Unfortunately, this illustrates the level of intelligent writing and plot and whilst I have abbreviated that sequence a little, the story should really be seen as a rather weak and tenuous link between a lot of frenetic - and often spectacular - action. It's often at a dizzying and blinding pace that should keep all action-heads entertained.

Snipes is fine, for what he does, which is a lot of running about, fighting and shooting and such stuff. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Donald Sutherland and Anne Archer, the former playing the UN Secretary General no less and Archer as head of covert operations. They churn out boring plot-lines to each other, as if reading from a poorly translated manual and it all means nothing, frankly.

There are such an array of filming styles, a lot of very different people who we don't recognise that it's all like putting one's head in a spin dryer. I'm not criticising the film as much as I might be making it to be but it's far from good and the fact that this $40,000,000 (2000) budgeted, two hour long movie has almost no customer reviews here and has an IMDB score just scraping above a lowly 5/10 bears this out. Disappointing. I saw it on TV, channel 5 USA.
