What to Watch This Weekend: 20 Great New Movies on Netflix, (HBO) Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime and More

If you’re in the mood for an intense action movie with jaw-dropping stunts, Havoc will satisfy you. Tom Hardy stars as Walker, a jaded detective who is in a lot of trouble. A drug deal has just gone bad and he’s on the run from a gun-happy crime syndicate that wants him dead and some dirty cops who don’t want their criminal side hustles exposed. 

To make it worse, he has to protect a crooked politician’s son who was involved in the drug deal and knows more than he’s letting on. Can Walker save the boy and not be killed in the process?

The plot isn’t anything new, but Havoc is worth watching just for the stunts alone. The movie was directed by Gareth Evans, who made the modern action classics The Raid and Gangs of London, so there are a lot of gunshots, explosions and face-smashing fights. Hell, there’s even a chase scene where someone throws a washing machine onto a pursuing cop car. 

Havoc is good, silly fun, the kind of movie you’re glad to watch while it’s on and forget about when you finish it.
