Havoc’s violent, breathtaking pace continues right up until the end, when all of the characters must come to terms with their actions

For the most part, Havoc was filmed in a studio in Cardiff, Wales, on movie sets. Though the film takes place in an unnamed city in the United States, director Gareth Evans is from Wales, and wanted to shoot a little closer to home.

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.
