Goofs:

Factual errors: When Rogue is in his gun vault, he is loading a pistol magazine with his "depleted Uranium" rounds. The rounds are clearly 5.7x28mm, and the magazine is for a FN Five-seveN handgun. However, the gun he supposedly inserts it into is a Walther P99 in 9mm. This would be impossible because the Five-seveN-magazine is too big for the Walther.

Quotes:

Rogue: Tom Lone is dead. My name is Rogue.

A Great Action Movie

I never suspected War to be so great. It was really cool and with good action and excellent performances too. The only reason I got this movie was because of Devon Aoki and really it turned out to be an awesome movie where I loved all the actors. Although it is not the best Japanese action film, it is certainly one of the most entertaining and well done. I thought that there was going to be more hand to hand combat, but then they surprised me by throwing in guns, swords, and all sorts of weapons. Some stuff did bother me though, but they were little things. War is another great example of how they can still make good action movies without being too actiony, and giving a nice twist to the plot, if you catch my drift, haha. If you're a lover of movies like these, then you'll definitely enjoy War, because it is an exciting and fun time from start to finish.
