Havoc

I'm a big Tom Hardy fan, a so it gives me no pleasure whatsoever, to say that "Havoc", a film he stars in, isn't good, at all. Its not Hardy's fault, nor for that matter, is it the fault of the cast, in general. This thing fails because it crudely glues together, almost every tired cop film cliche you can think of and hope's it amounts to something. The result, as you might expect, is aimless, tedious, shallow and for me at least, unwatchable. I managed about half of this hoary affair, before calling it quits. In short, no amount of decent acting can survive a dismal script. A truly marginal watch, at best.

Best film I've seen in 2025. Unrelenting chaos, gore, ultra-violence. Not what I look for in a movie usually but just the right feel for our time. Plot development: unload a magazine of rounds, and then another. The writers and director keep the finger on the trigger. If you have a sense of humour you will make it. The cgi/ai overlays which usually put me off give the scenes a fluffiness with a gamer feel. Much of the camera work is like in-game play. A raw, textured, grim cyberpunk style and low bass sounds evoke a club music video style until the action kicks off. I could say Tom Hardy's intensity drives the story but the whole thing is intense, every action and character is caught in the raw. Jessie Mei Li's well-played character Ellie is the one who stands morally uncompromi

Due to scheduling conflicts and the SAG-AFTRA strike, Havoc sat stagnant until 2025 when it was finally released on Netflix with little to no marketing ahead of time. Patrick Walker (Hardy) is a homicide detective who has lost everything due to what he has given to his job. Set in a corrupt US city that is never named, Walker has lost everything because he has put his all into his work. It’s Christmas Eve and Walker’s ex-wife won’t let him see his six-year-old daughter because of how much of a crooked asshole he’s become. A group of thieves steal a truckload of washing machines full of cocaine to smooth things over w

Garbage movie. Everyone seems depressed, violent and rude. Main guy who is cop, looks more like a lowlife gangster rather than a cop. Story's almost non exsiting. Majority of movie is an unrealistic, stupid action. This movie is for people who want to see shooting and fighting with no story. It's just dumb and cheap movie.
