Critics Consensus

An anemic crime saga punctuated with bravura action sequences, Havoc may feel like a retread of director Gareth Evans' past glories but, for audiences addicted to his balletic style, the formula still rips.

If you’re looking for blood and viscera and creative hyper-violence to fuel your adrenaline rush, the movie delivers.

HeyUGuys

Evans may wade into deeper waters here — grappling with morality, loyalty, and personal failure — but he never loses sight of what he does best: delivering chaos with craft. A brutal reminder of why Evans remains one of action cinema’s most vital voices.

...the fight choreography is unflinching and exact, the mayhem sublimely staged.

While the plot may be boilerplate, when the action kicks in, it's some of the most exhilarating action I've seen in a while.

Forest Whitaker is wonderful as Mayor Beaumont; he provides some extra life for the film.

Movie Files

This movie has some incredibly well choreographed insane action sequences, particularly during the club scene and the cabin shootout. However, despite the caliber of the team behind it, "Havoc" is a bit of mess.

Rated: 3/5

Part video game, part John Wick (impossible killings and tons of blood), part The Batman (Gotham city vibes and theeee daaaaark), part Tarantino (The Yakuza and again impossible killings and blood), part Tyler Rake. Batshit crazy total massacre movie but somehow Tom Hardy as always delivers, and and so even the unlikely and a bit stereotypical rookie-sidekick Jessie Mei Lei. Not bad.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The Raid was good but not this, that kinda style doesn't work in this setting, I'd like to see more weapon reloads and less CGI because it got a bit ridiculous at times (very hard to ignore). I also think the whole of Asia is the target audience for these movies so trying to reach English-speaking countries and European audiences is not a great idea. For example, India loves slow-mo and ridiculous fighting scenes but it just looks tacky to everyone else. But if you like 600 Asian boys that can't hit anything diving to their deaths then go ahead.

I had high hopes because Tony Hardy was in it. I thought he was more selective with the characters and scripts he chose. This was just so over the top cheesy (maybe it was supposed to be?) between the ridiculous driving scenes to humans taking on bullet after bullet and just keep going like nothing is astounding. Let’s not forget the how fake the snow was. I mean, did they even try? Sad.

Plenty of action makes up for a lousy story. It's to cheesy and and over used. Tim Treakle

I think the movie overall had tons of issues. Not to say it was unwatchable or anything. I think Tom Hardy and Timothy Olyphant are solid actors who help the movie. But the overuse of pretty poor CGI in pretty much every driving scene was just bad. The actions scenes were pretty good though. Also the fighting and the violence was pretty solid. So if you can just shut that noggin off and enjoy the ride I'd recommend it. If you can't and inconsistencies in plot drives you mad I'd avoid it.
