Trivia:
The photograph hanging from Neil Shaw's (Wesley Snipes) rear view mirror features British model/actress Donna Ewin. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: At the beginning of the movie, when Shaw uses a mirror to hookup to the laptop's infrared port, the beam coming in to the port is perfectly horizontal, which would only be possible if someone was facing the laptop and pointing a beam directly at it. Furthermore, infra-red beams are completely, 100% invisible to the human eye so the whole operation of carefully reflecting it off a mirror would be total guesswork unless Shaw has an uncanny ability to calculate angles of reflection in an object a dozen or so feet away whilst aiming for a second object that he a) cannot see and b) doesn't know the exact location of. moreQuotes:
Eleanor Hooks: Appearances are everything, Miss Fang. Politics and deception are built on it. moreFAQ

Wesley Snipes is back better than ever in "The Art Of War," a movie that is so good it deserves to be among the top ten of the summer.
There are many reasons why I enjoyed "The Art Of War." The first reason was the supporting cast. When I first saw Donald Sutherland in this movie, I knew it would be a thing of beauty. He brought great credibility as he made a good movie, that much better. Anne Archer is one actress you can always count on to give a good performance.
"The Art Of War" turned out to be a montage of "The Fugitive" series and "Enemy Of The State." While this is the only negative thing about this film, it didn't deter me from enjoying it to my heart's content.
There are many other things about "The Art Of War" such as the high-tech wizadry and action-filled sequences that were very enjoyable. However, the best thing about this film was the storyline. "The Art Of War" had beautiful twists toward the end of the film. In addition, there are scenes in this movie that are so good they must be seen to believe they are that good.
