News. In Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans, Tom
Hardy portrays a cop named Walker seeking redemption
in a corrupt city reminiscent of a gritty Gotham.
The film's title suggests chaos, but it delivers
confusion instead. Walker, a heart of a corrupt
gang of narcotics officers, finds himself entangled
in a convoluted conspiracy while trying to protect
the son of a mayoral candidate. Despite some
thrilling action sequences, like a chaotic nightclub
scene, the screenplay falters with shallow characters
and lackluster dialogue. Ultimately, Evans' directorial
strengths in action do not compensate for the
film's weak narrative and character development.
