Havoc - 7/10 for pre enjoyment nothing more

Completely over the top unrealistic unlimited ammo shoot em up movie with corrupt cops vs a less corrupt cop teamed up with a good cop and 2 randoms vs Cantonese speaking triads. Don't take anything seriously, just some decent brainless action before I went to bed

i was looking forward to it and then realized there was a Havoc movie in 2005 with anna hathaway.... (same title)

LOL its like is this the movie he's talking about because it's about gangsters too?

Fed up with the harmless antics of their suburban friends, high school students Allison (Anne Hathaway) and Emily (Bijou Phillips) set off to find some real gangsters on the mean streets of Los Angeles. After meeting inner-city thug Hector (Freddy Rodriguez), the girls begin spending their time with an entirely different sort of crowd. But, as Allison and Emily venture deeper into the criminal world, Hector's violent lifestyle and dangerous connections threaten to consume them.

This was a chinese new year film in China that had raving review.
One of the biggest surprise was Mr. Chow Yun Fat did a long ass 10 min court scene in english creating a huge buzz.

1) Movie made a lot of money (in Chinese terms) - it was 400 Million USD.
2) The whole thing began as the director who was also the script writer did 3 versions of these mystery in chinatown series giving him claim to fame.
b) he wrote this one setting back in 1900
3) John Cusack is in the movieeeee, he's alive!!!
4) it was a movie play on sherlock holmes mystery taking place in the chinese / san fran era

Summary - the movie is not for everyone as mainland china movie tries to pivot to many direction and then tying it all in together. It took a LONG 2 hours to bring it all in together so people might fall asleep.

Murder, revolution, mystery, chinese, natives, white american, unions, story within a story within a story.

How come that guy in the top hat looks like an Asian Robert Downey Jr?
