When international diplomacy comes up short, extreme measures must be taken. In the newest installment of Art of War, Agent Neil Shaw, played by Naughty By Nature's legend Treach, is on a covert mission to stop North Korean terrorists from obtaining a nuclear bomb. But when the deal turns deadly, Shaw is drawn into the crossfire to save a beautiful facilitator (Sung Hi Lee)? and ends up framed for murder. Now a wanted man with only his newbie partner (Warren Derosa) and the mysterious facilitator by his side, Shaw must rely on his kick-ass martial arts skills and bad-ass warrior code to fight through Korea's mean streets and find the terrorists before they detonate the bomb at the United Nations peace summit. This is war, and there is an art.

Dreadfull give it a miss

smudger1888 from , 20th September, 2009

This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. There is no plot to speak of, and the acting is just dreadfull. Dont waste your time with this film, it is an hour and a half you will never get back. It is certainly not a patch on the original, and not even the sequel.

HOW HAVE PEOPLE BEEN RATING THIS AS GOOD?

Mully333 from , 2nd September, 2009

Ok so when I sat down to watch this I wasn't expecting an Oscar winning film but I couldn't have prepared myself for quite how poor this is. The story line is so shocking I could have wedged a pencil up my nose and waved it in the general direction of a piece of paper and come up with a better result. As for the special effects I again could have done a better job, this time with a roll of caps, a can of deodorant and a box of matches. Now the acting...Treach what are you doing? Were you reading your lines direct off a que card? And as for you Sung Hi Lee...Yes you are an attractive Playboy model but your acting is dreadful and you didn't even flash the flesh so what's the point? If anyone is still doubting my review, the final 'big' shootout is set in a room about the size of my lounge where the heros and villians are hiding behind an arm chair and a sofa and are still struggling to shoot each other...the ends of the guns were nearly touching each other for Gods sake. To conclude this film is one of the worst things I have ever seen, but all is not lost. I did sit with a stupid grin on my face throughout just marvelling at how any producer/director saw the finished article and thought this'll be a winner.

Deary, deary me

A Customer from Lampeter, 8th December, 2009

Genuinely bad. Not like plan 9 is bad, just woodenly, tediously vile. I cannot condemn this unspeakable rubbish enough. If this had been a disc I had bought, I would have gone back and burned down the shop. Twice.

Art of War 3

kitesurfJim from , 11th November, 2009

One of the worst films I have ever had to endure. It had no plot and featured some of the worst acting I have ever witnessed, even the stunts were low budget and unbelieveable. Don't even consider watching this drivel!!!

laughably bad, but without the humour

A Customer from London, 17th October, 2009

Simply terrible film. The person who gave this a positive score must have been sent a different disk by Tesco. Naff plot, poor acting, a 'hot' leading lady (actually ex softcore pornstar) who somehow looked decidely ropey, action sequences choreographed by the people who made thunderbirds and special effects including BB pistols. Need I say more?

So bad I wish I was blind and deaf

Filmbuff2500 from , 16th October, 2009

At 1st I thought this film was just the worst espionage film ever made but by the time it got to the end It over come my expectations to being just the plain old worst film ever made. The actors have no talent in this film, sound effects don't even sound real. The script should be used for toilet paper. Even the Special effects lacked realism. I think the cast should be ashamed to have partaken in the movie. I think that this movie should have a rating lower than painful because it gives the films which make that grade a bad name. This film also shouldn't be a certified 18 the worst thing that happens just looks like a bit of red paint is flicked on someone. watching this actually made me feel dumber.
