'Havoc' review: Can Netflix's Tom Hardy vehicle sustain its visual chaos?

A generic cops-and-drug-dealers saga infused with occasional chaos, Havoc is a decent time, despite its plateauing excess.

The long-delayed Tom Hardy vehicle has just enough by way of visual panache to set it apart from the usual crop of forgettable, straight-to-streaming action.

At the center of the film is Hardy 's gruff, grunting, down-on-his-luck American lunk.

Hardy 's usually unplaceable American accent is an oddly perfect fit for a story seemingly set in Generica .

However, a major downside is that no one really has a sense of identity, or a relationship to the spaces around them.

The action in Havoc works, even if little else does, but it's also a film with little sense of escalation.
