Gareth Evans' films often present punishing bleakness, exemplified by his Indonesian crime martial arts dramas like "The Raid". In his latest film, "Havoc", starring Tom Hardy as a detective ensnared in violence and corruption while trying to rescue the mayor's son, Evans ensures a lyrical portrayal of brutality. Although it lacks the extreme gore of earlier works, the film retains a poetic quality in its depiction of action and character struggles, drawing on Evans' talent for showcasing raw human conflict and martial abilities.
Evans stages action and violence with artistry, making it feel noble rather than pernicious, while keeping the punishing bleakness of his narratives intact.
Havoc features Tom Hardy as Walker, a detective navigating a chaotic night filled with violence, corruption, and a desperate mission.
