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.

David Rooney

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

Rated: 4/5

The Age (Australia)

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

Rated: 3.5/5

The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH)

The nifty action sequences are not enough to recommend “Havoc,’ even if it’s just a few clicks of your smart TV’s remote away.

Rated: 2/4

FilmWeek (LAist)

While the story of a jaded cop trying to make things right would be interesting, particularly in the hands of Tom Hardy, director Gareth Evans doesn't really allow him the room to explore that character.

MEH. Masterpiece? Oh, sure. Right up there with Sharknado 7. Every scene? A revelation—if you’ve never seen a movie before. How did no one get arrested—for crimes against cinema?

This was some BS of a movie with zero story line or respect for human life

It starts off feeling like a mix of cyberpunk and Batman cinematography, but halfway through, I felt like I was watching Call of Duty. The amount of gunfire was insane — nonstop shooting from every direction. You can’t even tell who’s siding with who. Just chaos. 💥
