Can the UN actually be blamed for dirty doings?
28 September 2002
Get ready for a meandering story and a lot of martial arts. The latter is what makes this movie interesting and even exciting. The wisdom of mastermind Sun Tsu's "Art of War" is manipulated into enhancing politics and business. Wesley Snipes is an operative for the United Nations and is excellent in doing covert tasks for his employer. At the moment of Y2K an important Chinese diplomat is shot dead through the forehead and Snipes gives chase of the shooter only to find himself being framed for the killing. After escaping capture, he seeks help in clearing his name...but a lot of the help he gets is all part of a double-cross.

A very good supporting cast in a story that leaves you wondering what and why. Notable cast members include: Marie Matiko, Anne Archer, Michael Biehn, Donald Sutherland and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Snipes did most of his own stunts and proves that he is one of the most hardest working men on the silver screen. If you watch for the martial arts alone...you should be very pleased. Great F/X.
