‘Havoc’ Review: In Gareth Evans’ Dark, Destructive Netflix Outing, Only Tom Hardy’s Reputation Remains Unscathed
Tom Hardy portrays Walker, a police officer who appears significantly worn out, much like Bruce Willis’ appearance at the end of “Die Hard.” He wholeheartedly embodies the stereotype of a less-than-ideal cop, patrolling Christmas Eve in a fictional city that:
1. Doesn’t actually exist,
2. bears resemblance to the grittier, more criminal-ridden version of Gotham City depicted in “The Penguin”, and
3. is controlled by the underworld triad, filled with countless henchmen armed to the teeth.
