The Art of War II: Betrayal

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.

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

Sad to see so many bad reviews. I give this film a seven out of ten.

Sure the film has a cheesy intro, and sure if you ponder too long the plot lacks credibility on many frontiers... but thats what makes many of the twists and turns so unexpected.

The acting is to be expected, and some of the sf action scenes are over the top... but then there are battles that are scarily realistic.

The switching of the realism and the ridiculous gives the film a charm.

I had this film in my possession for a long time and I discarded it purely based on IMDb ratings. I'm glad I watched it.

Ignore the bad reviews and get entertained.

This film has everything from poor to great.

Perhaps you like or perhaps you hate the first Art Of War. However, considering limitations of this genre, what Christian Duguay presented from his creative side is truly fantastic.

Superb dosage of action. Action mostly intelligent at that. Cinematic side of the first one is exceptional and truly atmospheric, while sound treatment was of the same caliber. Well collaborated efforts with fine results. It is very clear to anyone who has seen the first part; that story and the movie itself, never really anticipated further conclusion; nor it required any sequel for that matter.

This could be any "of the shelf" action movie with Wesley and with title that would less embarrass both Wesley and the rest of the collaborating crew. I wont even path into this story. Just awful ! Technical and visual side of this movie is incredibly ambivalent. From time to time I had a feeling of watching a TV movie or high packed TV commercial. A few nice shoots, but what remains is almost vaccinated from cinematic experience. Wesley, I like you, always did. But please, learn the art of choosing the Sun Tzus among writers, directors and casting! And please, don't be cheap on production like this!

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.
