Reviews
Despite having a star like Wesley Snipes leading the way, 'The Art of War' falls short of its potential according to critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a disappointing 16%, with the consensus being that the film is 'overly convoluted and lacking coherence'. Metacritic rates it at 30/100, citing the confusing plot and lackluster character development as major drawbacks. IMDb users are slightly more forgiving, with a rating of 5.7/10, appreciating the fast-paced action and Snipes' performance, but agreeing that the storyline could have been stronger. Critics have noted that the movie's saving grace lies in its well-executed action sequences and stylish visuals, but ultimately, it fails to deliver a compelling narrative that matches its promising premise.
