‘Havoc’s’ Plot: Complex Web Of Corruption And Power Struggles

The film follows a bit of a complex storyline, weaving together themes of corruption, power struggles, and personal vendettas. Hardy's character, a determined and brooding figure, is shown to navigate a treacherous landscape, however, the plot's predictability left me feeling underwhelmed.

Room for Improvement: 3 Key Changes That Could Have Made ‘Havoc’ A Must-Watch

While the film certainly has potential, there are several areas where changes could have elevated the film to the must-watch status.

Streamlined Pacing Might Have Offered Engaging Viewers’ Experience

Some drawn out scenes throughout the film like the ending and the shootout scene disrupted its pace and momentum which could have been avoided by streamlining the narrative, ultimately bringing the viewers a more engaging viewing experience.

While Hardy’s character in the film is shown to be deep and complex, those of antagonists lack that stature and feel one-dimensional, bringing down the tension and conflict. The villains felt more like cartoon figures rather than fully fleshed-out characters which could have been improved by adding more layers to these characters.

Loose Ending Made It Feel Like A Low-Budget Disaster

The missing consequences of failure and predictable plot twists definitely took away the surprise and impact, giving it a muted feel. Additionally, there was little-to-no tension and urgency which would make the plot more compelling and invested, and increased the film’s overall emotional resonance. ‘Havoc’s’ conclusion is no differently disappointing than the rest of it, being somewhat abrupt with some loose ends.

‘Havoc:’ Final Verdict

Should you watch it? A big yes if you are a fan of Tom Hardy's performances, gripping thrillers with complex characters, and intense action sequences. However, Hardy’s performance might be the only major highlight of the film. Falling short of being a masterpiece, ‘Havoc’ is still a thought-provoking thriller with potential.
