Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The Way Of War is amazingly bad, that I wonder if Cuba Gooding actually cares anymore. Once again he doesn't look too happy to be here, and walks around with a haunted look on his face, I guess he thought it would be effective. The movie is very hard to follow, due to all the annoying flashback footage randomly coming in with pieces that don't make much sense at all. The action is nowhere to be seen, because to say this is dull is a huge understatement. I just recently gathered up the courage to watch Cuba's DTV films, and so far i'm 0 for 2 with them, while I'm hoping some of them will improve soon.Bottom line. Junk can't even begin to describe this movie. I know it's not a full detailed review like i'm capable of, but the truth is, there isn't much else to say, it's that bad.0/10

TERRIBLE. I was sitting on my couch watching this on netflix instant stream while browsing on my laptop and I thought I lost my logic. After 30 minutes in I thought that I had lost my unique ability to follow movie plots while doing other things (laptop,reading,talking on phone)because I was so confused of where the plot was leading. So I rewound and watched with full attention...Still made NO SENSE. The dialogue was cheesy and clichés, the gunfights(very little) looked like how a group of 8 year olds would have a water gun fight, and the plot NEVER developed. The main character tried to look like a tough guy but never once did the movie tell us why. So, in conclusion, don't watch this movie unless you want a sudden urge to acquire a firearm and shoot yourself in the face.

This is an awful movie. There's no originality (unless being incomprehensible is considered original), there's no action, and it looks like it was made on a budget of $50K.Let's start with the most fundamental problem: being confusing. I truly have no idea what this movie is about. The movie is about 50% flashbacks (and not the illuminating kind, either) that just serve to confuse. The US Secretary of Defense apparently hangs around at illegal fighting exhibitions and nobody notices. (In fact, it looks as if he is the ONLY one attending the fights.) The whole plot (if there is one) is just a mess.The other big problem is how cheap the film looks. It looks like it was shot in an old warehouse that serves as a bar, a secret fight club, a terrorist hide-out and makeshift hospital in the middle east. Weapons and weapon-handling are crappy, the fight scenes are pretty much non-existent, but when there are some fights, they are truly limp.Just bad, bad, bad. Not worth a moment of your time.

oh yes they did make the worst movie...stupid Boring, slow, .... WORST plot I have seen in a long long time! the editing sucks, the story is horribly told, it makes no sense. the script is poor , the role for Cuda is shallow, perhaps he slept thru the act. the casting is lame, the characters are either miscast or TOO stereotypical. the editing was childish lets use flashbacks and flash-forwards to confuse the audience, problem is it's not worth the time or effort to figure out. of course they are trying to say some grand comment on the state of wars but this movie just ends up insulting everyone. the audience is smart enough to know there is corruption in all governments. but this film takes us on a journey to nowhere and we learn nothing from this film.
