What to Know

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. May 2, 2025 Full Review 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 May 2, 2025 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) ...the fight choreography is unflinching and exact, the mayhem sublimely staged. Rated: 3.5/5 May 1, 2025 Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day Some of the choreography and camera work are more than impressive, but “Havoc” is style over substance, with a director continually shouting out “did you see what I did there?” Rated: 2/4 May 6, 2025 Full Review Aglaia Berlutti Hipertextual Gareth Evans' Havoc is much more than an action movie. Which it is, and one of the best of the year. It's also a fresh take on the genre that combines ultra-violence with experimental visuals. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: A May 4, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Revolves around gang vengeance and a dirty cop seeking redemption.

Ryan S The ‘John Wick style’ action doesn’t make up for the bad plot and lack of story depth. They must have paid Tom Hardy a lot of money to agree to this trash.. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Brendan O A fairly easy watch with a fair storyline. Graphics were good, but the blood splashes were grossly overdone. Even one of my favourites in Timothy Olyphant couldn’t save this one to make it a 3+ star film Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Michael M This film wastes the talents of two great actors - Tom Hardy and Forest Whitaker. It is little more that a series of ridiculous action shoot-outs and car chases, with a poor script filling in the gaps. It was clearly inspired by the mayhem of competitive computer fantasy games and, also just as clearly, largely created with CGI. It is tedious. How did two actors of that quality allow themselves to get involved in such mediocrity? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Chris H This movie definitely does not discriminate because EVERYONE can get it! Holy violence! I could have sworn as one point blood came off the screen and got in my eye, it was awesome. Good story line, good acting, and a lot of violence. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Eva E 0815 netflix movie... only even darker and edited faster so that you have no idea where you are or what exactly is happening... + a lot of gore I used to like Tom Hardy somehow... but those days are probably over Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Ron M Some bozo is review bombing this movie for some reason. The stylized car sequences are campy in a cool way. Over-the-top action is fun. The movie was too long though; I checked the time about halfway through. The plot was weak. Slightly sadistic in a bad way. It wrapped up conveniently for the leads. I was hoping for a noir detective movie after the first twenty minutes and got brainless action instead. Not bad, but could’ve been better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
