Overview

When a drug deal goes catastrophically wrong, a bruised and weary detective named Walker is pulled into a city-wide nightmare. A politician’s son has gone missing in the chaos, a powerful criminal syndicate is closing in, and the only way through is a night of relentless, bone-crunching violence. From Gareth Evans, the director of The Raid, Havoc is a throwback to the hard-edged action films of the 1980s and 90s — but shot with a modern ferocity that leaves little room to breathe. Tom Hardy is perfectly cast as Walker, a man whose fists do the talking and whose conscience is the one thing he cannot outrun. Jessie Mei Li, Timothy Olyphant and Forest Whitaker round out a formidable cast in a film that is as much a portrait of a corrupt city as it is an action spectacle. If you like your thrillers loud, gritty and uncompromising, this is the one.

Why Watch Havoc?

Because Gareth Evans stages action like nobody else alive. The fight scenes here are brutal, inventive and shot with a clarity that puts most blockbusters to shame, and Tom Hardy gives the kind of battered, world-weary performance he could do in his sleep — except he never phones it in. Havoc is pure adrenaline with a bruised heart, and it is exactly the kind of film Netflix was made for: a Friday-night blast that leaves you grinning and wincing in equal measure.
