Critics Consensus

Mayhem delivers stylish violence by the bloody bucketful -- and grounds all the titular chaos in sharp humor and surprisingly effective real-world economic angst.

#52moviesin52weeks #2023 #105 #Mayhem #amazonprime ¿De que trata? ALGUNOS SPOILERS Un nuevo virus, el IV-7 se ha propagado mundialmente. Si te contagias, te volves violento y te vale madre las consecuencias, sacando tus instintos mas agresivos y tóxicos. Un joven abogado es despedido injustamente d la firma donde labora justo cuando se detecta el virus en el edificio donde se localiza la firma y este es puesto en cuarentena, por lo que los responsables de su despido estan en una situación muy riesgosa. ¿Me gustó? ¡Cómo no pasó algo así en 2018! ¡Ya me imagino lo que le hubiera pasado a la Momo! Ya fuera de bromas, este film es sangriento, vengativo, te identificas con los trabajadores explotados y aunque tiene pasajes un poco lentos, los momentos de violencia compensan con creces los ratos que esperas a que esta suceda. Si, es una película tipo B, ni sabía que existía, y de pura recomendación me apareció... y me la disfruté. Ahh, y cuando le preguntan a una de las protagonistas sus tres bandas favoritas, contesta Motorhead y Anthrax en sus inicios! Nos vemos en El Salvador!!!¿Recomendable? No queres ver algo en lo que necesites pensar mucho, es una estupenda opción si la violencia extrema no te molesta. Ahh, y si te queres tronar al jefe, buenas ideas. Lo mejor, justificable porque no tenes la culpa de que te contagies!

It's a movie that has a pace where is doesn't go too fast that you miss things but doesn't go too slow that it gets boring and while it's mainly got really good action it also has a few heartfelt and sentimental moments

I like Steven Yeun and Samara Weaving and in Mayhem, they are a very good team. After a little introduction everything goes berserk and when the dust settles and all is back to normal the assholes are dead and the good have won (and killed a lot). Good movie, I like to watch it sometimes, brutal, sarcastic, sometimes bitter, but again...in the end the good wins :)

Time Out

Mayhem is an energetic genre flick that moves at a ferocious pace. But contrived dialogue and a bewildering narrative tarnish this otherwise enjoyable pulp effort.

At some point just past the middle, it goes on autopilot.

Mayhem channels rage at an unfair society and the bullshit that trickles down from the Powers That Be into a paean to uncontrolled anger.

Mayhem is one of those films that live up to their title. Here the mayhem and insanity is push up as much as it can without going overboard too much ...
