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.

4/5

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.

74/100

Gareth Evan’s just really wants to punch things, shoot at others, and blow things up. It is as if Evan’s is pitching himself to Rockstar should they ever want a Grand Theft Auto movie.

Fans of the Raid films will relish some of the audacious action sequences. while Hardy fashions a gruff powerhouse performance from the bones of Walker. Fans of Gareth Evans will feel appeased as unleashes Tom Hardy to wreak Havoc, literally.

4/5

A relentless opera of carnage that’s simultaneously cathartic in its adrenaline-fueled bloody violence that grows cartoonishly over-the-top, and artful in its poetry of slow-motion and precise, balletic movements that are plucked straight out of John Woo.

In the end it's a gory action movie, nothing more, nothing less. A flat story, extremely fast pacing, but full of action. You won't get smarter watching this. But maybe you'll get entertained. If you expect art house cinema, you're a fool. And you shouldn't judge this movie other than what it is: a dumb, but entertaining action movie.

Well, it lives up to the title. There is literally no good guys in this film with the lone exception of a female rookie cop who looks like she couldn’t possibly survive in this cess pool in real life. Just senseless extreme violence with no redeeming qualities. The actors are very good, but they deserved a better movie. How they read this script and all agreed to sign on to this slop is a mystery.

This was 5% thrill and 95% gore. Rubbish story line and the budget must've been spent on blood bags and bullets because that's pretty much all there is to it. I had high hopes with Tom Hardy and Forest Whitaker but when the opening scenes a full semi rounds an almost 90° bend with ease at full throttle that told me straight up that it wasnt gonna be good. The CGI was clunky, and the characters were flimsy. Sorry but its a no from me.
