Havoc' arrived on Netflix has a different movie to what it would have been if it had been released four years ago.

Netflix subscribers have propelled The Raid director Gareth Evans' new Tom Hardy-led action-thriller to the top of the streamer's charts stateside.

The elevator pitch is pretty snappy: Tom Hardy plays a homicide detective named Walker with a very chequered past, and the scars to show for it. On a mission to locate a corrupt politician’s son, he finds himself squaring off against just about everybody as he carves his way through the criminal underworld and unearths various dark conspiracies.
