The Art of War
5 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Whilst it's no Blade, Murder at 1600 or even Passenger 57, Wesley Snipes does a good job in 'The Art of War', starring as Neil Shaw, an undercover United Nations operative who works in the shadows and has no real identity. When he is implicated in the assassination of a Chinese trade delegation member during the trade negotiation delegations, Shaw must go on the run in New York City to clear his name. Of course, NYPD, the FBI, the UN (including some of Shaw's old colleagues, including Michael Biehn's Robert Bly) and Chinese agents who are, understandably, out for his head. His only help? A Chinese interpreter caught up in the mess and a sceptical-at-first NYPD detective.

Anne Archer and Donald Sutherland co-star in a pretty good action film: a few twists, some great action scenes and Snipes gets plenty of opportunity to his martial arts thing. The Art of War isn't breaking any new ground, but it's entertaining,
