Havoc Ending Explained: Did Tom Hardy’s Cop Complete His Mission?

by

In the heart of a pulsating crime saga, we find Tom Hardy’s character, a relentless detective, entangled in a whirlwind of drug cartels, Triads, a crooked politician, and even his own police department. Here is an account of the storyline as it unfolds, culminating in whether our hero successfully completes his high-risk assignment.

In my gaming experience with Havoc, I found that the director and actors knocked it out of the park by crafting a collection of extraordinary scenes that really took the game to new heights.

In this Netflix movie, Tom Hardy plays the role of Walker, a police officer who is assigned to locate, safeguard, and transport a minor offender named Charlie to his father, a man running for mayor named Beaumont.

However, it transpired that Charlie found himself entangled in a failed drug transaction, which put him on the radar of various factions – including honest officers, corrupt cops, and the Triad gang. Each group now seeks his demise. [SPOILERS] Follow us as we dissect the sequence of events.

Why does everyone want to kill Charlie in Havoc?

There’s a widespread belief that Charlie orchestrated a massacre, which occurred during a problematic drug transaction and led to the tragic demise of Tsing, the child of a powerful Triad leader. This is the reason why individuals from both legal and illegal circles seek his elimination.

however, it was actually a rogue band of corrupt police officers headed by Walker’s adversary Vincent, and orchestrated by Tsing’s uncle Ching – who felt slighted when he didn’t receive the promotion instead.

Intense pursuits, violent altercations, and prolonged shootouts ensue, with Walker determinedly safeguarding Charlie and his girlfriend Mia, as they become targets for others intent on harming them.

Everything culminates in an intensely violent finale, where all the characters gather at a fishing shack near a lumber mill and railway tracks.

Beaumont’s impossible choice

In the midst of the confrontation, the Triads, some crooked police officers, and Walker, Charlie, and Mia find themselves locked in a tense stalemate. Meanwhile, an incredible battle unfolds between Tom Hardy’s character and Michelle Waterson’s ‘Assassin.’ This fierce encounter culminates with her suffering a fatal wound from a fish-hook to the neck.

Concurrently, the Triads kidnap both Charlie and Mia. Tsing’s mother, still convinced that Charlie was responsible for her son’s death, places a difficult choice before Beaumont.

As she gives him a gun, she says, “His actions have taken away the one thing I cherished most in life. It seems only just that you return the favor to him.

Beaumont expresses remorse as he aims the gun at Mia, but Charlie falls to his knees, imploring, “Shoot her, shoot right through me… I cannot bear to lose another soul. I cannot bear any more loss!

The truth comes out

In this critical juncture, Ellie, Walker’s partner, arrives accompanied by the corrupt police officers and Ching. To Tsing’s mother, she reveals the truth: “It wasn’t your son they took; you’ve been pursuing the wrong individuals.

I was the one who should have taken over when Big Brother passed away. However, you placed someone else in control, not me. I had cautioned you that your son wasn’t prepared to take charge.

Suddenly, a violent confrontation erupts, as Triads clash with corrupt police officers. Beaumont receives multiple gunshots to protect his companion, ultimately succumbing to his injuries in someone’s arms. Meanwhile, Ching mercilessly guns down Tsing’s mother, only for Vincent to retaliate by firing upon him.

Havoc’s final showdown

In a subsequent event, Vincent steals the illicit substances from their initial agreement, prompting Walker to chase after him in a heated pursuit. Ultimately, this leads to a high-speed chase along the railroad tracks.

In simpler terms, Vincent jumps onto a train, but Walker fires at him and he tumbles off. Walker then goes up to him and says, “You can’t just run from this.” To which Vincent retorts, “You can’t back out of it now. Not after the things we’ve done together in our past,” implying their shared criminal history.

“I ain’t gonna run no more,” says Walker, “don’t make me put you down Vince.”

Realizing that he alone is aware of Walker’s deep remorse, Vincent becomes frantic, seizes his firearm, spins around, and fires. However, Walker reacts more swiftly and decisively, riddling Vincent with bullets, ending his life.

Walker faces the music

Ellie advises Charlie and Maria to surrender, as it would be safer for them, but instead, they choose to trust their luck and depart in the evening, driving away on their own.

Later, she discovers Walker lying in a pool of blood on the ground. He instructs her to apprehend him, admitting that she’s an excellent officer whom he perhaps should have treated more kindly.

Ellie offers to hand-deliver Walker’s Christmas gift to his daughter (indeed, Havoc is a holiday film), yet he declines, preferring not to spoil her special day for her.

At the end, the camera focuses tightly on Walker’s face, while patrol cars pull up, and he braces himself for what lies ahead.
