'Havoc' Is An Action Movie For Action's Sake
Briefly

Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans, showcases Tom Hardy as Walker, a troubled cop navigating a chaotic world of gangsters and corrupt politics. The film blends creative action sequences reminiscent of both slasher films and blockbuster franchises like Mission Impossible. While the plot provides minimal context, it enriches the viewing experience with intense encounters. The setting, loosely defined as 'America' yet filmed in Wales, adds unique flair, presenting a predominantly British cast. Evans brings his expertise from The Raid, crafting a visually stunning action film that stands out in the genre.
In Havoc, Hardy is Walker, a cop who is pulled every which way by all sorts of factions, but is still trying his best.
Gareth Evans is best known as the director of The Raid, but with Havoc he's able to completely let loose.
It’s a curious case of a film, but you can't argue with the results, focusing on hugely ambitious, high-octane action sequences.
The setting of the movie is never more specific than 'America,' filmed in Wales with a predominantly British cast.
