"Havoc" on Netflix hooks you with the action! Too bad that...

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

I haven't been shy about how disappointing Netflix movies are to me in the past. They're the complete opposite of their shows, which are usually pretty good. The movies, on the other hand, really leave a lot to be desired. Recently, "Havoc" came out, and it's number one on Netflix's charts in a lot of countries, which is understandable since the platform doesn't have much good to offer when it comes to movies. Personally, I was drawn to watch it because Tom Hardy is the lead. He's usually associated with good action projects, and the name – when I was younger, I used the word "Havoc" as a handle in a lot of video games.

¡Havoc en Netflix te engancha con acción! Lástima que...

En el pasado no he ocultado lo decepcionante que son para mi las peliculas de Netflix, son todo lo contrario a sus series que si tiene un buen nivel, en cambio las películas dejan mucho que desear. Recientemente se estrenó Havoc, esta de numero uno en la lista de Netflix de muchos paises, lo cual es entendible porque la plataforma no tiene nada bueno que ofrecer en cuanto a películas. Personalmente me atrojo verla por ser Tom Hardy el protagonista, porque normalmente se asocia con proyectos de acción buenos, y el nombre, cuando era mas joven utilice la palabra Havoc como seudónimo en muchos videojuegos.

There's not a whole lot to say about the movie. It's exactly what the trailer promises: pure, raw violence, knife fights, hand-to-hand combat, and a ton of shootouts. As for the story, I was excited at first. I thought it would be one of those complex police thrillers, but no dice. It's about a corrupt cop played by Tom Hardy who's involved with powerful people in the city's criminal underworld. But it seems like he wants to redeem himself for his past mistakes and sees an opportunity when he has to save the city's mob boss's son, who got mixed up with the Chinese mafia.

No hay mucho que decir en cuanto a la película, es lo que promete cuando ves su tráiler, violencia pura y cruda, enfrentamientos a cuchillo, peleas cuerpo a cuerpo y muchos tiroteos. En cuanto a la historia, al principio me emocionó, pensé que seria uno de esos thriller policiacos complejos, pero nada que ver, se trata de un policía corrupto interpretado por tom Hardy que está involucrado con personas poderosas del mundo delictivo de la ciudad, pero al parecer quiere redimirse de sus errores del pasado y ve la oportunidad al tener que salvar al hijo del mafiosos de la ciudad que se involucró con la mafia china.

There's not much more to add. Nothing goes as I expected, and everything ends in pure violence. I will say that Hardy does an excellent job with that. Like I said at the beginning, this guy shines in action movies. Plus, the scenes are really well done. At times, I felt like I was watching one of the "Kill Bill" movies. The timing is great; they're frantic and impactful because of how brutal they can be, but you still notice it's fiction. The hand-to-hand combat is good. Like I said, it still feels like fiction, but it's fun and entertaining. I think that's the only real plus for the movie.

No hay mucho que decir adicionalmente, nada sale como esperaba y todo termina en violencia pura, en esto si puedo resaltar que Hardy lo hace excelente, como les decía al principio, este tipo brilla en la peliculas de accion, ademas las escenas son muy buenas, por momentos me sentí viendo una de las peliculas del Kill Bill, el timing es muy bueno, son frenéticas e impactantes por lo crudas que pueden ser pero igual no dejas de notar que es ficción. El combate cuerpo a cuerpo es bueno, como dije no deja de parecer ficción pero es divertido y entretenido, creo que es el único punto a favor de la película.

Now, this is the kind of movie where things happen fast. The events keep changing, and at times it can overwhelm you because there's no breather. But if you like that, then this movie is for you because it's a clear shot of adrenaline in every action scene for almost two hours. The bad thing is that the script is pretty mediocre. There's nothing police thriller-ish about it. The movie is predictable from start to finish. You quickly get a sense of what's going to happen. But that's not necessarily a bad thing because it's clear it was made purely for entertainment, with a top-notch cast. The actors are A-list, but their talent was wasted here.

Ahora bien, este es tun tipo de película donde las cosas ocurren rápidamente, no dejan de cambiar de acontecimientos y por momento te puede abrumar porque no hay respiro, pero si eso te gusta, esta pelicula es para ti, porque es una clara dosis de adrenalina que descargar en cada escena de acción durante las casi dos horas que dura la película. Lo malo es que el guión es bastante mediocre, acá no hay nada de thriller policial, la película es predecible de principio a fin, uno intuye rápidamente que va a pasar, pero eso no esta mal porque es claro que fue hecha como mero entretenimiento, de la mano de un reparto de altura, los actores son de primero pero acá se desaprovechó su talento.

An honest review is worth a hundred points. Many action movies have only one goal: to entertain. Too bad this one didn't provide more than just entertainment. Regards, @danielcarrerag

Thank you, it is indeed a film that aims to provide simple entertainment, without challenging the viewer to unravel a plot.

As a Tom Hardy fan I as so excited for this movie. But now, looking at your review, it seems like movie story won't be very good. It's not very enjoyable to watch if the story isn't good and the action is just good.

avatar

Yeah, he did an excellent job, be sure to watch it because if you're a fan of his, you'll like it just the same.

Nothing goes as I expected, and everything ends in pure violence.

I watched this last week, and I felt, it's too much of violence, not fully liked but not disliked as well - kind of 50-50.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, I was expecting a police thriller, but there's too much violence and not enough story, but it didn't bore me either, it's true, it's a 50-50

This type of film has no ambition beyond entertaining, lots of violence, blood and gunfire, just to keep the attention, but it lacks plot substance, hence it falls apart in seconds.

We watched this last night and it got a big thumbs down for me. The shoot up scenes were just ridiculous and there were way too many of them. I would give it 0/10.

avatar

I understand, it can be a visually strong film for several people

The movie really answered its name. I have watched it and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for Sharing your review
