Havoc - From the Director of The Raid
Discussion
Complete toss...
4 years in post-production and reshoots should have been enough of a warning.
If I had to bet, it's a collection of footage from a failed production with bucket loads of CGI created scenes cut together to try to make a coherent story and fails.
Mrs said she spotted a few frames with Cardiff Castle in the background, but we lost interest after that.

Bearing in mind this was the best they could scrape together after a big delay (filming finished in 2021!) and lots of rework...
I've seem better efforts from stuff that was cancelled part way through filming and completed with spare change.
Takes proper effort to screw up this badly & broadly and as the writer/director/producer, Gareth Evans is the one everyone will point at as responsible.

Absolutely this. Has the look and stench of a minimal budget salvage job. Sometimes that type of product kind of works and other times absolutely not.Seen that with Chaos Walking as a recent-ish 'big film' (which had some reasonable effects but was an incoherent mess of fragments from what they had for a trilogy) and other low budget stuff; there was one whose name I can't remember 'finished' based on only 30% of filming having been complete when it collapsed.

gave up halfway through the first episode. Opening lorry chase was enough to make me laugh.
It's a film rather than a series, but yeah that Lorry could corner like a Eurofighter Typhoon, whilst someone daringly held onto the door. Sums it up really, the CGI and non-core actor scenes were almost slapstick, but then it cuts back to Tom and Co and there's working on a serious gritty film. I've no interest in watching another second of it, but I'd like to read what the film was supposed to be.
