“Havoc” is finally here. Almost.
The underworld thriller starring Tom Hardy was announced back in 2021 and it arrives on Netflix on April 25. And now you can watch the brand-new, bone-crunching teaser below.
“Havoc” hails from writer/director Gareth Evans, who wrote and directed modern action classics “The Raid” and “The Raid 2.” His last film was the underrated 2018 Netflix folk horror film “Apostle,” starring Dan Stevens as a man searching for his missing sister on an island gripped by a strange cult. He also co-created “Gangs of London,” the cult series based on the PlayStation game.
The official logline for “Havoc” reads: “Walker (Tom Hardy) is a bruised detective fighting his way through the criminal underworld threatening to engulf his entire city. In the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong, Walker finds himself with a number of factions on his tail; a vengeful crime syndicate, a crooked politician, as well as his fellow cops. When attempting to rescue the politician’s estranged son, whose involvement in the drug deal starts to unravel a deep web of corruption and conspiracy, he is forced to confront the demons of his past.”
The trailer, backed by Fontaines D.C.’s “Starburster,” promises the kind of nonstop action that Evans is known for. Beyond Hardy, the cast includes Jessie Mei Li, Justin Cornwell, Quelin Sepulveda, Luis Guzmán, Michelle Waterson, Sunny Pang, Jim Caesar, Xelia Mendes-Jones with Yeo Yann Yann, Timothy Olyphant and Forest Whitaker.
“Havoc” premieres April 25 on Netflix.
