mmorgan-22 The "action scenes" are stupid, boring, obnoxiously unrealistic. Any real soldier would laugh them to scorn. Clearly no one involved in the movie had any understanding of urban tactics and procedure.This movie's half-hearted attempts at appearing "deep" come off as pretentious, pseudo-intellectual drivel.The romantic interest is poorly developed, and there is really nothing sexy about this film.This is simply the worst movie I have seen in years. The plot is scant, incoherent, truly stupid. The promise of cool action is just a lie.In short: plodding, boring, unsatisfying. I want my time back!

Semaj3 The Way of War. There are many good things about this movie, but in the end, it is boring. It is an anti-war (anti-middle east war) film that simply fails to interest, excite, explain, or satisfy. Cuba Gooding, Jr., is, as usual, a strong screen presence, as is Clarence Williams, III. But the plot/story is weak, particularly as you really never understand what is supposed to have happened, even as the credits roll.If you are still reading this, stop. This movie is not worth any more of your time. IMDb should not have a minimum lines requirement. It is a disservice to its readers.One of the best reviews in print was supposed to be of "Cleopatra" (a Broadway play). Supposedly, the whole review was something like, "Cleopatra's barge sailed down the Nile last night. It sank." And that was all. What more do you need? This movie sank, too.

NickMDN I rented this because it had Cuba Gooding Jr. in it and seemed like a decent action film. Bad idea. When it was over we turned to each other and said, "What the heck was THAT?" It has some great actors - all wasted. Some scenes take forever. It took about a minute just to watch a guy make three or four faces and get out of a limousine. Seriously, it was like the director was reaching for some of the great suspenseful movie scenes of the 1950s, but failed miserably. I STILL don't know what the plot was. Heck I came to IMDb to see if anyone else had figured it out.There are so many plot devices they just left hanging that I am convinced this was perhaps shot as three different movies, and then they just put it together during a drunken high editing session. Very disappointing.

twomoonsdesign I rented this film from a Redbox mainly because I like Cuba Gooding Jr. I must admit that this is the first film since Howard the Duck many years ago that I didn't finish. I left after about 45 minutes as I found it way too slow, uninvolved, poorly edited, terribly written and boring. It is one of the worst movies I've ever seen and unless it got substantially better, I wholeheartedly recommend against this movie, even if you are a fan of the lead actor. IIt wasn't just bad...it was horrible. I even have made bets that my fellow movie-loving friends wont be able to sit through it. Maybe on another day when I want to punish myself Ill rent it again...just to have a feeling of my tolerance level. Avoid!
