Watched it today.
Not sure what was worse, the awful CGI (especially during the opening chase) or the wooden acting
Overall, I thought it was pretty bad
Blade runner... 30 Days of Night... The Fog...Whenever I see a movie that takes place at night I see a high probability of that movie sucking.
I'm sure you wouldI'll most likely enjoy it than![]()

But bad CGI is incredibly distracting, especially when CGI cars accelerate as if they're straight out of a cartoon
Hardy is a bad actor and his American accents are awful.Well boys, you weren't kidding about the T E R R I B L E CGI use, just the initial car chase is straight up (bad) video game quality with impossible angles/framing etc but here's the thing, the acting is also HORRIBLE, never expected to see such shite from both Hardy and Whittaker, we're talking bottom of the barell acting here in the form of overacting, terrible delivery etc...
I lasted 40 minutes, ain't nobody got time for this type of shit, too little free time, lots of good movies out there to be wasting my time on this type of slop.
The reshoots prob hurt this, but its def a watchable movie just for the artstyle/mood setting. Or the violence. This is one of those flicks that lets you in on new ways to kill something.Bummer @ the impressions.
Apparently the movie wrapped in 2021 but never released, affected by the big SAG-AFTRA strike, then went back for a second round of filming for reshoots in 2024.
Sounds like a troubled production they tried to salvage in post. Hope Gareth Evans gets another shot at a decent budget movie.
Surprised you saw it tbh. What with the camera lens on the floor and rolling around for most of the film .Surprised people are not too happy with this. Yeah, its full of CGI and story wise its very plain cakes But moodsetting was very good in my opinion. I got reminded of Sin City, without a narrator, and even Blade Runner. I felt the crap CGI chases actually helped that gritty, unfinished vibe it had.
The violence was nuts. Most of the kills were clearly John Wick inspired.
I think what doesnt help is that these movies dont appear so often, so this feels "fresh".
I dunno, it was good to me. Also helps it isnt a very long movie.
The reshoots prob hurt this, but its def a watchable movie just for the artstyle/mood setting. Or the violence. This is one of those flicks that lets you in on new ways to kill something.
Also: the shotgun usage in Havoc is amazing and sounds amazing too. And just like in any game that has it, a good shotty is worth a million bucks.
