Jessie Mei Li, Timothy Olyphant and Forest Whitaker also star in Gareth Evans’ neo-noir about a compromised detective caught between Triad killers and crooked fellow cops.

A generic cops-and-drug-dealers saga infused with occasional chaos, Gareth Evans' Havoc is a decent time, despite its plateauing excess. The long-delayed Tom Hardy vehicle — it completed production in 2021 — has just enough by way of visual panache to set it apart from the usual crop of forgettable, straight-to-streaming action.
