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.

Linda Marric

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

Mac the Movie Guy

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.

Rated: 74/100

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.

FlickSided

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.

Rated: 4/5

A bit too much. 99% of all people appearing on screen die within 10 seconds of being shown for the first time. Entertaining but too much gore and too little logic.

Think I'd have to be totally screwed on drugs to enjoy. Music too loud. Characters yeuch. Can take all the gore but hardly a story. American crap. A waste of time.

Story lands straight into the center of storm and the hero enters with unwrapped Xmas gifts cranking up the style. But as the story goes on it defies all logic, climbs down the shelf and disappear into the cinematic FMCG. There's enough power in visuals, audio and the performances of this star studded cast but the story becomes too predictable and preposterous to hang onto. However the action sequences would definitely keep any audience entertained.

Utter garbage. The incoherent writing was garbage, the camera-on-a-vibrator cinematography was garbage, the slapstick martial arts were garbage, the soulless acting was garbage and especially the directing was pure garbage. It would have some redeeming quality if it was intentionally funny, but I was definitely laughing at this movie and not with it.

Great cast but what a shitty movie.... Almost turned it off after 5 minutes, because the action scene was terrible and the cameras were shaking too much. Stayed with it but still hallway through I had enough... Not even Whitaker nor Hardy helped pushing to a decent level of movie. Too bad

Easily Evans' worst movie, the two set piece action scenes were decent but nowhere near to the stadard we've expected from him.
