A B If I could Rate this 0 stars I would. The CGI made the chase scenes look like a video game trailer. And the completely unlimited ammo put it over the top as totally ridiculous. Even Forrest Whitaker couldnt save this train wreck. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review J B So dark it’s almost unwatchable and the action scenes are reduced to computer game shoot-outs. Can barely make out what most actors are saying (weary of Tom Hardy’s endemic mumbling) and a waste of Forest Whitaker who we don’t see enough of in the cinema. No interest developed in any character. By the end I was more interested in guessing how much red squirty sauce was being used for each bullet wound. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Paul D Tom has sold himself out on this one, total crap, don’t waste your time. The effects are totally AI over the top and unbelievable getting in the way of following what should real life orientated scenes. Stopped it 20 mins in… Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Rosetta W I thought it was a good old-fashioned, grab you by the balls action-packed ride. It doesn't reinvent the action movie genre but, it takes the viewer for a nice ride. I thought the story could have been fleshed out more concerning the characters but, I still understood the plot and could follow it just as easy. Tom Hardy can do no wrong in my opinion, he's one of cinemas greatest actors and, I always look forward to anything he's attached to. Side note, I would highly recommend Mobland by the way. I would definitely give Havoc (A-). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Justin W It just messy, very messy as the name indicates. No-brainer pool of mess. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Marco L (CASTELLANO) No todo el cine de acción necesita reinventar la rueda para funcionar. Estragos (o Havoc, en su título original) lo sabe y lo abraza. Con Gareth Evans al mando y Tom Hardy como protagonista absoluto, la película entrega justo lo que promete: violencia descarnada, escenarios oscuros y una tensión constante que apenas deja respiro. No es elegante ni sutil, pero tampoco lo intenta. Desde el primer tiroteo, la película deja claras sus intenciones. Aquí lo que importa es el ritmo, las peleas cuerpo a cuerpo y ese diseño de producción que sumerge al espectador en un universo sucio, casi de cómic urbano. Todo luce sucio, húmedo, peligroso… y muy creíble. El guion, sin ser brillante, cumple su función y consigue que sigas interesado en lo que está pasando incluso cuando el caos manda. Tom Hardy está espectacular. Puro músculo, mirada perdida, mandíbula tensa. Le crees cada golpe, cada jadeo, cada caída. La cámara lo sigue como un animal herido y peligroso, y él se deja llevar con una entrega absoluta. A su lado, Forest Whitaker y Timothy Olyphant cumplen con solvencia, pero está claro que el peso lo lleva él. Lo mejor de Estragos es que no busca engañar a nadie. Es cine de acción de vieja escuela, pero rodado con una técnica que pocos manejan como Evans. La coreografía de las peleas, la forma de mover la cámara, el uso del espacio… hay momentos realmente brillantes que merecen ser vistos en bucle. Quizá no tenga el impacto narrativo de The Raid, ni su sorpresa, pero Havoc compensa con estilo, garra y brutalidad. No es perfecta, claro: hay escenas que podrían haberse recortado, y el ritmo en la parte central baja un poco. Pero si te gusta este tipo de cine, es difícil que salgas decepcionado. (ENGLISH) Sometimes you just need to see Tom Hardy grunting, bleeding and smashing everything in his path. Havoc doesn't pretend to reinvent anything. It's pure, hard-hitting genre cinema, where what matters is the impact of the punches, the camera work in the fights, and the atmosphere of decay that runs through the whole film. And in all of that, it delivers. The story is nothing we haven't seen before: an undercover cop in a drug-dealing hell, a child to rescue, a system rotten from top to bottom. But Gareth Evans knows how to make it engaging. The script works, the characters are believable within the genre, and above all, the production design is top-notch. Every corridor, apartment, and alley seems infected by violence and corruption. The action sequences are intense, brutal and never gratuitous. And Tom Hardy, of course, is perfect in this kind of role. He speaks little, acts with his body, and turns each scene into a test of resistance. You can feel the weight of each blow and each choice. It may not be a movie for everyone, but for fans of the genre and Evans’ cinema (The Raid, Gangs of London), it's a satisfying return. There are excesses, yes, and some narrative wandering, but everything fits thanks to direction that is sharp and confident. It's one of the best action films of the year so far.
