I had a fun time with 'Havoc', Tom Hardy's new action flick now on Netflix. It's a new one from Gareth Evans, a welsh film director who somehow found himself in South Korea directing two of the greatest action films of all time, 'The Raid' and 'The Raid 2' and then did the first series of 'Gangs Of London'... so you can imagine that this one isn't about delicate issues between emotionally repressed British people who never do anything more exciting than raising a cup of tea.
Hardy (playing a mumbly action hero again) is a cop in debt to a gangster / now powerful and respectable businessman type after doing favours for him in return for cash and is forced into finding the gangsters son when the lad is implicated in a mass murder robbery and finds himself fighting off both Chinese mafia assassins and some fellow bent cops who are in the same pursuit. If you're familiar with Mr Evans previous work it'll be no surprise that this a hugely violent film (nobody's dead until they've had at least a dozen bullets in them and they've decorated the ceiling with their blood!
) but if you know what you're getting into then it's a pretty cool flick. Here's the trailer, be warned, it's not family friendly...
