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.

If you’re looking for blood and viscera and creative hyper-violence to fuel your adrenaline rush, the movie delivers. Go to Full Review
Linda Marric HeyUGuys May 2
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk Sep 8
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. Go to Full Review
Maxance Vincent FlickSided Jul 25
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. Go to Full Review

Mark O. @Oberg Dec 14 No plot, just endless violence. Got suckered into watching this with the wife. Reaffirmed by belief I should never let her pick the movie. Tom Hardys worst movie ever. See more Griffith J @griffithxjohnson Dec 10 It lives up to its name with the most insane & gloriously fun action sequences ever. The excessive violence is almost to the point of campy slasher or exploitation films. Gritty & industrial with its look & set design that build an atmosphere similar to a graphic novel. The physical speed & almost stupid levels of high octane fight scenes won’t be for everyone as it disregards every attempt to keep it grounded. The story is pretty thin & needs to be streamlined badly but that doesn’t really matter because it’s all about Evans going beyond crazy with his signature style. See more M D Dec 2 Big fan of Edwards' films and Tom Hardy, but this was disappointing. Story was generic in nature, which is forgivable provided the action makes up for it. Unfortunately the imagination and fun seen in the Raid films' fight sequences seems absent. Fights are held in darkened areas, with splashes of Paul Greengrass-style shaky cam in play. With films such as John Wick and the aforementioned Raid movies taking a less "show it, don't shake it" approach to action, it is difficult to find a place for Havoc in the modern action movie landscape. See more Paul A Nov 30 Don’t know why it is getting bad audience reviews. The storyline is decent and the action scenes were great. See more Lautaro Leo S Nov 26 The best action movie of all time I can't stop watching it it reminds me of Call of Duty and GTA See more Anirban S Nov 23 Simply a waste of time.
