The Art of War II: Betrayal

I knew this movie was a straight to DVD movie when I first saw it. The camera shots were obviously amateurish and it looked like a home-made video changed to DVD.

It seems I have to look at this board again, next time, before I rent a DVD. It's just another cliché action movie with an incoherent plot and even if you take your brain off it still delivers far short.

This teaches me one lesson. Before renting a DVD, stop by 'Internet Movie' database first before wasting your money renting a B, or Z quality movie.

I rate it three stars because in all honesty, I did see the movie from beginning to end, and was hooked to see what is going on -- but it still felt that I was looking at garbage quality material and felt like I just wasted my time.

'Art of war' with Wesley Snipes back around 2000 was a pretty damn good movie; even though it was lack of plot but a lot of cool action sequences and a very attractive Marie Mateko it made the original film a interesting popcorn flick; Now eight years, and a couple of night flights away from the IRS later...Wesley continues his character of Neil shaw in a very damaging sequel of a pretty damn cool movie...this is what happens when you use very bad camera actions, lack of acting, character, and surprising enough not continuing the relationship between Neil and Ms. Fang's character from the first movie..oh did i mention this is filmed in Canada and not in Los Angeles (where the direction of the movie was suppose to be taken place but not due to Wesley's escaping the law...haha that's funny every time i hear it) the result is a very poorly done movie that only is showing Wesly's swagger and not much of the action the first movie contrived.

I'm not going to spoil this movie cause it wouldn't be fun....i want you to see this movie for yourself cause i had to laugh at this film for the due fact that this movie could of been A WHOLE LOT better if a better director, cameraman, and oh i don't know BETTER SCREENPLAY. But this is what happens when you evade the law and try to think you are going to get away with it a crappy movie like this. But don't take my word for it see it yourself!

Wesley Snipes' movies aren't exactly groundbreaking material, but the first Art Of War was a pretty good action movie even if it was a bit generic.

The new Art of War movie is a total disaster. I don't even know where to start. The plot is thin and incoherent at best. Both the direction and camera angles are amateurish or even worse. The entire cast was at best platonic.Some scenes are shot so badly, you wonder whether it was directed or just some homemade video slapped into the movie. Also, the makers did a pathetic job of trying to pass off Canada as L.A.

The only 'good' thing about this movie is that you might end up laughing uncontrollably at their miserable attempt at making a movie.

Dude, Art of War the first movie was awes0m. This art of war 2 is crap, doesn't even come close to the first movie. It's like wesley snipes couldn't find a decent writer or any funding to make this...it could easily be some cheesy action flick from the 80's. Corny dialogue, cheap action, bad acting. You're seriously better off watching Zombie Stewerdess Vixens part 9 rather than this wannabe action flick. Cmon snipes, u were Blade ffs! i mean tommy lee jones could make a better movie than this, and thats sayin something. If you paid money for this movie then go slap yourself, you are now officialy one of the masses. This is lowest common denominator, worse than made for TV, on par with cheap B grade film script, production...etc

Wesley Snipes is backing action in this action / thriller genre movie.

An agent goes to attend his martial arts tutor's funeral after he is informed of his death. But afterwards, he meets his daughter, who informs him that her father was murdered because of him and his job. The agent, however, begins to dig into this when a friend of his, who is a politician and is aiming to become a senator, starts helping him only to realise that all is not what it seems.

Starring Wesley Snipes, Lochlyn Munro, Athena Karkanis, Winston Reckert, Scott Heindi and Michael Ryan, the movie is directed by Josef Rushnak and is written by Jason Bourque and Keith Shaw.

This is an action packed movie all the way through – from the beginning, which makes one think what has happened, till the end. There are moments, regarding flashback which makes one remember certain scenes fro the 1970's TV series, "Kung Fu, which helps the story to move on. The only minus points for this movie is that it is predictable but on the other hand, it does have some good action sequences.

Conclusion: A good action thriller, which is worth watching at least once.
