Overview

• Havoc, starring Tom Hardy and directed by Gareth Evans, is currently the number one movie on Netflix, outperforming other original films on the platform.
• The film has drawn mixed reviews, with critics praising its intense fight sequences and Hardy’s committed performance while critiquing its formulaic storyline and underdeveloped supporting characters.
• Tom Hardy’s unconventional American accent in the film has sparked viewer confusion and debate, with the actor acknowledging it as an intentional, character-driven choice rather than a strict dialect replication.
• Filmed entirely in Wales, Havoc faced significant production delays due to reshoots and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike before its April 2025 release.
• The supporting cast, including Forest Whitaker, Jessie Mei Li, and Timothy Olyphant, received limited screen time, leaving some viewers feeling their talents were underutilized.
