This movie was kind of a mess. Well by today's standard I guess it's okay (yet forgettable), but eeeeevery scene feels so extremely "fake" in that uncanny valley way almost like it's 80% CGI on everything from the sky, the walls and even the floor! Weird. I don't even think they bothered using blanks, just a cacophony of CGI bullet flashes. It also doesn't help having this constant 1-second jump-cuts from angle to angle, scene to scene until you don't even know what direction someone is going or who's doing what. Also, Hollywood _has_ to stop making CGI car chases, it just feels so out of place how the cars always "float" around. [spoiler]What was Ching's plan at the hospital, ON CAMERA?[/spoiler]

I was just impressed how 2 skinny guys were able to carry a washing machine and throw it in the air like it was an empty cardboard box.

Like a 5 year old wrote these action scenes. An entire police force and Triad can't aim for some reason.

Gareth Evans (The Raid, Apostle) smashes the accelerator straight through the floor with Havoc—a hyper-kinetic, ultra-violent blitz set in a rotting near-future. Feels a bit like RoboCop by way of David Fincher’s grimiest daydream, soaked in sweat, blood, and neon. The camera never sits still, flying and whipping around until you’re either cheering or holding onto your stomach. It’s chaos—bullets, blood, drugs, shards of wood and glass flying across the screen, all wrapped in heavy film grain that makes it feel like you’re stuck inside a broken video game. There’s technically a plot—something about gangs, backstabbing, corrupt cops and governments—but it barely matters. Havoc knows why you’re here. Evans treats the story like an excuse to chain one ridiculous set-piece after another, and honestly, fair play. Some scenes get so loud, so overloaded, they tip into pure sensory comedy—and it somehow makes it even better. Tom Hardy’s on classic battered-hero form, playing a snarling, half-broken cop who’s basically been held together with tape and bad decisions. He knows exactly what film he’s in and leans into it hard. Add a banging cyberpunk aesthetic—synthy music, blazing orange muzzle flashes, grimy streetlights—and you’ve got a 105-minute punch to the face. If you liked The Raid, RoboCop, Upgrade, or Dredd, you’ll be laughing, wincing, and maybe throwing up your popcorn. Glorious.

What a mess.... Just violence, no story, no characters.. Not worth your time.
