I could watch that. Undoubtedly no classic, and yet another video director behind the camera, but it looks like OK. And is that Mark Cheng in the opening moments? Very cool. Devon Aoki's a pretty average actress, so she's probably right for this, as it requires her to be all exotic and knife-throwy and stuff.

I had to watch it w/o sound, but it looks inviting - though not compelling. But there's no way I'm not going to check out an action flick w. Jet Li and Jason Statham.

looks like glossy american rubbish im goin to watch it coz im a jet li fan but no other reason obviously lied about Fearless being his last ever film or was that media trying to get u watch the film . He makes a classic like fearless in china and makes this rubbish for americans just like jackie but this looks better than rush hour 3

I think he said FEARLESS would be his last martial arts film, not his last film. Although I'm sure there will still be bits of the martial stuff in WAR, the focus does seem to be more on standard-issue western-style action.

good point i see that looking onn imdb his future projects all seem to be non martial arts films but to be honest he aint the greatest actor in the world so i dont see how far he would get

Those actress job specifications are getting very technical nowadays aren't they? :P
