Havoc - It lives up to the title! It's basically
The Raid meets
Run All Night. Which makes sense, because the the director of the former, Gareth Evans, wrote and direct this masterpiece! This is Evans at his peak again. The story simple: Tom Hardy plays a corrupt cop who has to save a corrupt mayor's son, Charlie. For a crime and murder of a triad mob boss, who the son and his girlfriend didn't kill. People said there's not enough story, but there is and it works in the movie's favor. It knows how to pace itself, but once the film gets going, it doesn't stop. There is tension in this movie, and that's what I love about Evans film works. The man can do suspense and tension, whether it be action or horror.
See this movie, if you're into his works, a fan of action films, or simple curiosity if you're new to his works: do note, he is known for ultra violent action, and the people in this movie get fucked up! Tom Hardy is a beast in this film, but the two people he's reluctantly protecting don't sit on the sidelines either. Especially the girl, Mia. She knows how to kick ass.
I saw it once last year, and bought a DVD copy from eBay last week. It came in today and just finished watching it now.
