HAVOC 2025 - It's Just a Bullet...Lots of Bullets
Let's be honest. If you go to the cinema to see Havoc 2025 expecting a narrative masterpiece or some plot that will make your mind work, you're in the wrong movie. Here, the script is not a skeleton; it's a launch pad. A rocket with the words MAXIMUM ACTION written on it in lame letters: NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
The synopsis? It's a joke. A drug deal has gone bad, and that's the excuse. An excuse to start the chaos. It's not a story. It's just a map with red dots where the maximum fight has to come. That detective? He's a guy who doesn't die and who has to run non-stop. It doesn't matter if he uncovers conspiracies or networks of corruption. All that is just background noise, the pretext for the next gun scene.
I don't think there was a single scene in this movie where anyone pulled the trigger. This movie doesn't shoot normally. Bullets are pouring out. It's as if the director had an unlimited budget for ammo and said, "Make it rain!" And it did.

A movie to throw away? It definitely was. If it weren't for Tom Hardy and Timothy Olyphant. They're the mood-boosters you take to keep your nerves from the lack of a script.
Hardy grunts, looks tired, and is lethal. He's a presence. Olyphant comes across as a don't-care-me face, but they still make it concrete. The two of them make those scenes with banal dialogue bearable. They manage to turn a movie heist into a show of strength, just through their charisma. Seriously, with their faces, i'd watch a blockbuster.
Verdict: Havoc 2025 is for Sunday nights when you want to blow your brains out and just watch pure, unadulterated action. It's not smart. It's not deep. It's just an action bomb that decided that in 2025, the only thing that matters is not running out of ammo. It served its purpose.
It's a bad movie, with over-the-top action. It's way too much, it's over-the-top, it's absurd. But i guess that's really its purpose. It's an adrenaline rush, a bullet-filled blast designed to shut down your brain. And on that front, it's a solid hit. It leaves you exhausted and a little deaf.
