In the mood for an intense action movie with death-defying stunts and a cynical lead hero? Then Havoc is for you. Tom Hardy stars as Walker, a jaded detective who is in a lot of trouble. A drug deal has just gone bad, and he’s on the run from a gun-happy crime syndicate that wants him dead and some dirty cops who don’t want their criminal side hustles exposed.
To make matters worse, he has to protect a crooked politician’s son who was involved in the drug deal and knows more than he’s letting on. Can Walker save the boy and not be killed in the process?
The plot isn’t anything new, but Havoc is worth watching just for the stunts alone. The movie was directed by Gareth Evans, who made the modern action classics The Raid and Gangs of London, so there are a lot of gunshots, explosions and face-smashing fights. Hell, there’s even a chase scene where someone throws a washing machine onto a pursuing cop car.
In other words, Havoc rocks, and it makes you want to see Hardy and Evans collaborate again on another crazy action movie like this one.
