It's time to Hardy. Havoc. We have jest for our audio listeners concluded, Havoc, which I recommend you use your visual on.
Starting point is 00:00:54 What an experience. What a cacophony of sight and sound. That was one of the more intense choreographed shoot-em-ups I've seen in quite some time. Please let us know what you thought below. This is one of those that, again, snuck up on Andrew completely. I avoided trailers. Both Greg and I knew the ingredients, but only the top two, just Gareth and Tom. So, yeah, this was really cool to dive into blindly.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I'm going to start with Greg. All right. Okay. This is like, havoc. This is certainly one of those movies where you've got to process. a little bit just to be like all right let me take a shower really quick and I'll come back to you go ahead we'll wash some of the blood off
Starting point is 00:01:33 I want to say a prepper you guys got your hands full with this I hope you guys enjoyed this 30 minute edit of havoc we put out it's actually a two hour movie if you're on Patreon but here 25 minutes yeah man that was that was awesome it was a great world to step into of like
Starting point is 00:01:55 all New York did they make it clear I think it's all New York. Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, a little Baltimore. Yeah, it feels east. It's certainly East Coast. It was Gotham City. Yeah, 100% East Coast. And I thought it was like a, like you said,
Starting point is 00:02:09 cacophony of a sensory overload experience that felt like everything seemed was this like oppressive slash aggressive. Let's just dial every, any ingredient you can see in this film. How do we just turn the volume up to like maximum throughout? like it was aggressive and it doesn't let go and how like it's harsh and stark everything is and set it during the reaction of how raid was more of like the martial arts epic which had like crime uh raid too has that crime epic vibe to it where this is a kind of a blend of both those raid movies where raid one takes place in one day and it's very diehard in terms of like going through the levels then two is this crime epic this combines both of those elements to be the crime epic that takes place in one day with a cop who's trying to take on something much larger than himself and it's essentially turning into this like one-man army with very little help but again that was more martial arts this is more guns but it's it's a different type of gun thing you
Starting point is 00:03:13 know it seems like john wick has really redefined what we do with gun play in movies which is a very like martial arts gun type of action this is this is brutality this is um harsh and in your face like you you the sound design mix with like every time there's like bullets flying everything's flying yeah you know there's like debris and paper and glass and the cameras moving pushing sweeping yeah it is a relentlessly aggressive it is like putting on a VR mask and and sitting through this thing because that's the part of it where I'm like man if I was a little less if I was a little more tired I would probably have a massive
Starting point is 00:03:58 migraine right now because of how it is unstoppable in its way it is like a train wreck and any type of adjective you can describe to be being smashed over the head with something it does it backed with an incredible
Starting point is 00:04:14 probably overlooked will be overlooked Tom Hardy performance as something that feels straightforward but man we cannot underestimate what he brings to this role, a full-fledged character. I'll stop there for now. I got so much stuff to say. First of all, I really meant what I said earlier,
Starting point is 00:04:32 and I'm sure you guys would agree as you, the audience. I love that we did the reaction here. I would love to see this on a movie theater screen. If you guys ever get your video. Yeah, sorry. I said I love this reaction. It was so incredible. It was immersive.
Starting point is 00:04:45 It was so many different things I could use to describe, but I would love to see this in a movie theater as well. It's got that movie theater going experience. Gareth Edwards is slowly climbing as one of my favorite directors. I love watching this man's work. You can tell he's got... Yeah, I said, did I say Evans or did I say Edwards? God, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I knew it was going to happen. It went to the end, it's okay. God, damn it! Garth Edmond. Gareth Evans. You're having a very reasonable reaction, right? Yes, I know. No, I said in my head, I'm not going to say Edwards, and I said Edwards.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Gareth Evans is slowly becoming one of my favorite directors. I love the Raid films and I really love this film. This man has attention to detail when it comes to action characters. He knows how to create action drama and what I mean by action drama when you really give a shit about the characters. And then you're really emotionally attached to the action that's happening as well. And then it's obviously visceral and incredible action at the same time. So I, you know, I'm just throwing this out there. It has nothing to do with the film really quickly.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I want to see Gareth, and by the way, Gareth Evans and Tom Hardy, such a winning combo. Those two works so well in tandem together, a beautiful combo. I would love one day to see Gareth Evans and Tom Cruise work together. I'm just throwing that out there. The stunt work that you would, yes, I would love to see that. Just throwing that out there. I really got to tell you, I love the theme of betrayal in this film. I thought that was really poignant and really well done.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You know, in terms of you got that friend from Forest, Whitaker's son saying he would take the rap for him if anything goes wrong. And then you got, and then he snitches on him to save his own skin. It's like, wow. And then you got, uh, what I'm trying to think. Who else you got? Uh, the, the brother of the, the main character, because he feels, oh, I should have been the one in charge. And then he lets, uh, you know, again, I don't know if his intention was to let that, I feel like it was to let his nephew die. But again, the betrayal there. I feel like, again, that was such a strong theme in this film. And I really felt it and then also too i would say tom hardy felt the betrayal of the of his fellow officers as well like
Starting point is 00:06:53 he was trying to do the right thing and he had a moral compass but because the dirty cops betraying the guy yeah yeah there you go lots lots of betrayal all over but again tom hardy like underneath that shell and that bad assery there was a moral compass there and it got broken you know amidst this innocent man being taken and you know he lost a part of himself there and i like this arc that was fleshed out throughout the film, you know, through the, through Ellie and through, uh, you know, kind of almost becoming like the Terminator protecting these two, even though they could hold their own for sure. I like that they established. They were not damsels and is it distress, but at the same time, because of the army and the numbers, they did need him. And, you know, his, uh, just,
Starting point is 00:07:35 you know, his, how, just how crafty he was, how, uh, just on his feet. And he knows the city better than anyone. And I, I just thought that was just such a fascinating angle to take his arc. And It loved it. Also, this film just did such an incredible job of, I know I use this word often, subverting my expectations. And if you're going to subvert, it's got to be done in a satisfactory way. And I thought this film just excelled at that. There were times where I thought this was going to happen. And again, there were a couple times I was able to predict something. But again, it serviced the story and it serviced the character, so I didn't mind it. And then there were other times I didn't see things coming, which kept me on my toes because it was unpredictable in that fashion. And I appreciated that. Just trying to think of an, oh, I love that it did not matter. whether we got a heart racing pounding scene in regards to the action or it's just a calm scene when we're just talking. Like my heart was racing and I was on tension and on edge every single moment. And Gareth Evans, I say that right, yes. He just has that ability every scene to just make you just again, just feel on edge and have that tension going. And it's just really an incredible ability to do. And I did see too on the credits. He's the action editor as well. So
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yeah, he gets a lot of props again. I'm, my biggest, fear. Like, I really would love, I guess, is this technically a studio film when it's Netflix? No. I think they're just the distributor. Okay. I would love, like, you mentioned Batman Beyond, which, God dang, I would love to see Gareth. I'd love to see him do anything, but Batman Beyond sounds amazing. I said this in my Raid 2 review. My, my only fear of him doing a studio film is the studio control, that they're not, they're going to restrict him. And I don't want this man to be restricted. He is a creative genius. He knows how to direct actors. He knows how to how to direct action. He knows how to give us
Starting point is 00:09:19 character development and I want this man to be unleashed and do his thing. So that's my only fear of having this man do a studio film. Aside from that, I got some other things I do want to talk about, but I will leave it to my fellow geek check and then we'll interject from there. I want to give some love to going
Starting point is 00:09:34 in blind to movies. It's a highly recommend doing it as much as you can. We live in a very connected era where we are so plugged in that you see a lot of a movie before you see a movie. You know a lot about an actor before you actually see their work. You have a lot of associations going in anything because your brain doesn't distinguish like, oh, I know that Tom Hardy is blank. And then I think of the movie, but that's an actor. It is a disassociation
Starting point is 00:09:56 that I think we're struggling with. The more we connect to actors and making ofs and all the behind the scene stuff. This was really cool because I knew the director. I knew the actor. And then I was able to dive in fully. It was an interesting experience for me, though, because I am not traditionally a blind action, hyper-violent movie guy. I like John Wick. one more than two, three, or four. I like John Wick one because it's about like how to use the weapons in creative ways more than it is just a cartoon that's awesome. Those movies are all awesome, but my preference is like the technique, the number of bullets
Starting point is 00:10:30 thinking tactically, like that's more my jam. So this was interesting for me because I had to go like, oh, right, Gareth Evans, the raid. Let me switch mindsets in about first 10 minutes. I was like, oh, really cool stylized action, really great energy, really great pacing, a tone that felt like it was grinding you to dust the whole film, this hyperaggression that felt like it was like putting you under pressure. So you felt the tension
Starting point is 00:10:53 everyone else is feeling and then it just accelerated and accelerated. So it was almost like sandpaper in a positive way. Like it was so friction filled. But I had to shift into like, oh, right. Tom Hardy's bulletproof somehow. Like I had to go into like a subgenre of action wherein there is going to be a man fighting 40 people and winning. But you still
Starting point is 00:11:15 feel the pressure of that happening and that's not my usual action genre i like uh like lethal weapon is an action comedy but it's not rigs against 40 one-on-one it's like crazy shootout that's also implausible joke joke and it's just a different tone i'm not saying one's better than the other it's just when i watch this i had to switch over so as soon as i was able to go oh it's this type of action movie i let go of any like but how you shoot they all and he they know shoot him all um and when i did that i had so much fun with the inventiveness of tom hardy using this type of gun this way and this type of gun this way and using all the things in his surroundings but doing it in a tom hardy way there's so many great action actors and it's a very
Starting point is 00:12:03 specific job where they are really cool in their acting and then as soon as there's action it feels like the stunt director or stunt editor have to make them cool they feel like they lose their nests like the the actors short of your jacky chans your keanu reeves your tom cruises a lot of those actors as soon as they're doing action the personality becomes neutral tom hardy managed to imbue his hearty into the action and had his personality in the violence and i think it was really cool as a huge fan of tom hardy as soon as i shifted into you're watching this because it's cool you're watching this because it's awesome you're watching this because it is a testament to action directing, action styling, visual candy.
Starting point is 00:12:49 As soon as I went and, oh, that's what I'm watching, it was so cool to see Tom Hardy use a machine gun and physically use his body in a different way, then he would physically use a shotgun a different way, than a handgun in a different way. And then by the time we get to the third act, we got hand-to-hand accelerating, we got different weapon use, all while you felt the Tom Hardy of the intensity, of the swagger, of the brutality. And the reason Tom Hardy is one of my favorite actors on the planet is, I,
Starting point is 00:13:15 I've always enjoyed, for Koi, personally, my experience, that I look like a Boston dude that would enjoy punching you. And I would sometimes, but I also care about people, and I also love literature, and I also love philosophy. There are days I want to be punching, and there are days I want to be reading. And I've always identified with Tom Hardy being this incredibly endearing, soft, wonderful, wonderful like soulful man when he speaks there's poetry there's quotes there's such an idea of of art there's such a profound uh profundity but also a profound way of seeing the world
Starting point is 00:13:56 but he's also a bulldog but he's also a puppy but he's also a gold retriever but he's also like there's just so much in the soul of his eyes and the energy he exudes that can like suddenly become aggressive but all of him looks aggressive and i really love that and that's why i think he's such a good Venom because to me, Venom is an external shell with a soft inside. And I feel like that's Tom Hardy. And so to see him playing a hard man that is going through the process of figuring out how to be a better man, I feel like that's what Tom Hardy's doing in life all the time. He's trying to be like, you know, better and better and better. He's always trying to improve himself. But he's got this external that is so rough. So to see a role where he gets to do that for
Starting point is 00:14:36 two hours in such a hyper-violent theater in a way that he gets to stay Tom Hardy, but we get to see how he does with action. It was really cool. I agree. I also thought it was fascinating as well, great points that we didn't get to see, first of all, that the film took place in one night and that Tom Hardy never got to actually see his wife or child throughout the course of the film. And the arc was him realizing that he shouldn't. Right, right. I love that the arc was him going like, this is me being selfish. It's not about my daughter or my wife. It's about me. Yeah, I think that was part of his arc. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, absolutely. Springs here, baseball's in full swing. And if you're looking to make watching games
Starting point is 00:15:10 even more exciting. Check out prize picks, our go-to in the Daily Fantasy Sports category.

And to your point earlier, too, in regards to, you know, all the bullets flying and not hitting him, it kind of reminded me like, I assume both of you've seen Commando. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Yeah. It kind of reminded me of that final scene, which is one of my favorite action scenes in all of movie history and Commander where Arnold's just taken out an army by himself and none of the bullets seemed to find him, which I love. It's kind of like this just like throughout the whole film and it's like, I just, you know, just enjoying it. But again, just hyper realized. And again, I was just like turning, not turning my brain off, but again, again, I was just like, turning my brain off. But again, for the tone that this was set in, like, I didn't mind that at all. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:44 There was not the joke, joke, kind of like lethal weapon out you were talking about with action comedy right there. But I thought they infused humor at the proper times, but I thought you made a good point with that for sure. And I feel like if you know what the movie is, it's a good time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Like, I love Rambo when I'm in the mood for Rambo. It's just adjusting what you're experiencing. And this was a fan. Like, I liked this more than the raid. And I know that's like a hot take. You haven't seen Raid to do. I have not. I think you would love Ray 2. I think you would love Ray 2.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I just want to give credit to like Ray 2 actually fulfills what you were saying. And you also said to, to be fair to you as well, it's been a long time since you saw the first rate. It's also been like eight years. Yeah. But I got a lot out of this that I wasn't expecting. And I honestly, my opinion of Tom Hardy got a new like flavor. Like I got a new like Crayola crayon in the box of Hardy because I have never seen that much personality in action from him. well this is the kind of character that usually would be hardened stoicism and it starts off where you think that's what he's going to be and then as it goes you're like oh this guy's got ridiculous amounts of personnel like in almost every scene when he's interacting with the partner even when he's even when he's being shut off yeah he's still like he sounds like a guy from new york of it he rambles he talks they they overlap in conversation
Starting point is 00:18:07 Like when he's talking with Lewis Guzman and stuff Or when he encounters the cops And when he realizes they're about to go kill the girl It's like, is that a problem for you? Is this a problem? Like the way he reacts with this sardonic type of response Makes this guy feel a lot more alive And like a tired dad trying to just make it through.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Both in Venom 3 and in this The common thread is they're both very, very tired people Who are... Tom Hardy's time. Tom Hardy seems tired to you. And bike riders. Have you seen bike riders? that man is tired he's playing tired people who are on edge and i like this like tired on edge persona that he is identifying where the wear and tear and the gruzzleness is showing all over his like the lines on his face
Starting point is 00:18:51 etched and stone there's so much of experience that has been here there's so much like sadness and pain uh i love i love what he's doing and and i think this one um i didn't expect i came in for like action scenes and tom hardy for filling action scenes and i thought there'd be a little bit more like a hand like you got a little bit of hand-to-hand stuff uh it's primarily in the cabin because like the raid movies have probably set this on um ridiculous benchmark for gareth where you feel like you have to watch a bunch of martial arts fight scenes and this was more the gunplay but what surprised me was how much of the world there was here like right away the environment um feels like a character the music feels like a character the sound design feels like a character like this is really a director's medium of a film where the director is really shining with the whole crew that's why i was emphasizing so much about
Starting point is 00:19:45 ramping everything up because everything seems so essential to provide you characterization through this like it's it's been a long time since i've seen a movie where i'm like wow the the the way the gun was gun muzzles what it was what's the name of that when like the muzzle flash and the sound of each one of them each other distinction like With the music, it was like, wow, this is crazy. It's been a long time since that sound. It's in so many movies throughout the year that that sound would stand out. The car chases also stood out in an age where we see car chases often.
Starting point is 00:20:21 It's like the car stuff. I was like, how is this so visceral and fast? Yeah, it's a great blend of stuff and like the snow. Everything felt like ugly, but you gravitated towards it because it shined for some reason. And I wasn't trying to mince my words They're like the Batman Had one of the best car chases I've seen in the last 10, 15 years
Starting point is 00:20:42 This movie was putting it up for its money And again, it's not a comparison thing That's like that's high praise for both Yeah And yeah I do think it could have used a tad bit of Like in terms of hopping into like But we're going to thrust you into the immediacy of the experience
Starting point is 00:20:55 I admire it so much But the only character I truly connected with It was Tom Hardy's character And I could have used a little because I appreciate the effort to do more nuance, like with Forrest Whitaker and him sacrificing himself and having that turn. Like, this movie's like Trope Central and then a lot of it is like inverting certain tropes and then honoring other tropes. Like it's a lot of tropes all mesh into one giant blender of Gareth Evans. But I do think that at times the sensory experience of like the bombasticness of the sound design and everything was such at a ramped up constant that I could have used.
Starting point is 00:21:34 a tiny bit of moments like five to ten percent of moments to like lower the volume on that shit and let it be with the characters for seconds so that way we could really just connect it right now that was like one part of it that I think would have made what was otherwise a really great experience and even that much more of a of a stronger film for me I generally would agree most movies that I feel like miss that I would want more of I think that might have taken away a bit of our grind though see that's where as it was coming out of my mouth. That's why I was trying to emphasize the experience side of it because that grind is such a part of it like, we're going to thrust you into this and it's never let off.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And everything else is the character. Like I was like, Greg, what are you talking about? You're just saying how everything else is the character. And then the grind is the character. I feel like the co-lead of this film isn't a single actor, but it's the city. Like, I feel like the pressure stayed the thing. It's a situation. Yeah. And so like for me, that helped me. I also like this partner a lot too. Yeah, I was going to say I connected with her as well. I would only, my only note would be underutilized Allifant. Aliphon's so good. And I feel like he never got to be Aliphon. Whatever he's a villain,
Starting point is 00:22:39 I feel that. Yeah, I feel like I'm rooting for him and I don't necessarily buy him because what makes him interesting as a hero is that he is smarmy against all odds. And when he's a villain,
Starting point is 00:22:49 you're just like, well, he's just a bad guy. Yeah. The smarm doesn't work when he's a bad guy. That's why I specifically compared it to the diehard one
Starting point is 00:22:56 because I felt all that way more ramped up. But like Mandalorian, I'm like, this guy. Yeah, but in here it's like, it's better,
Starting point is 00:23:03 but no, For some reason, though, when you make Timothy Oliphon a bad guy, it kind of loses some new ones for some reason. Because I love Allofon. I'm a huge fan. Interviews, especially. Like, he is an underrated, hilarious guy. You're talking about all these villain roles.
Starting point is 00:23:19 What about Scream 2? That's another one, too. I was going to let the audience not be right enough. Everyone in this 20 years ago, spoiler. I was going to say, come on. God dang it. But everyone in the screen movies, when they were revealed outside of the first movie, everyone, when they're revealed to be a villain, they're awful.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I think they're all. awful. Whatever, they're like, I'm a bad guy. I'm a cliche bad guy. You know, you're talking about the sound design too, which I, you know, the sound, the visceral sounds from the guns like really made an impact on me. But I love again, this is where I come back to Garrett, Gareth Evans, I want to say it's slow, so I say it the right way. I love when they're in the nightclub. And you can barely hear because when I'm watching movies, again, this just grounds the film more. Whenever I'm watching movies and like, look, I appreciate that I can hear them very clearly in most films, but barely. being able to hear them like this again just
Starting point is 00:24:06 feels like we're grounded in reality it reminded me of a Miami Vice where the action is because of the intensity and they're yelling over the music but they don't turn on the music it's just like being in a club and you have to listen harder I mean how often do we watch stuff ever and go like sound mixing
Starting point is 00:24:22 like that's not usually a thing we point out and it was so good this is one of those movies that I think would bet like Netflix has done the big movies right the Michael Bay Underground whatever the red one with the freaking and um rock's in a few with them they've done their like insanely budgeted huge films they just had that russo brothers movie that i haven't seen most of these all those i'm listening i just like
Starting point is 00:24:43 my point though is that this is one that feels like no this does not feel like a straight to streaming movie no no this feels like a film where you want to experience the multitude of different crew members working together to craft something that is visually and auditorily um working on your senses. I actually really want to watch this on like an 80 inch in the dark with some of the sound. Like if not at a theater, like I want a home theater this up because it's got so much. I was getting the vibe of when this is, when you guys said this is a streaming and we were watching. I was like, this feels like, why are they doing like prey?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. I mean, I pick is not enough theater screens for this. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I'd become nauseous though with this one for in a 40X. Oh, God. I just like nonstop. Yeah. Just like nonstop.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Oh, my goodness. I really like that club fight a lot. action club fights are a action genre trope you know there are so many action movies where they go into the nightclub and it shit goes down but i thought there was a cool variety that paid attention to the characters of what and then even having developments with characters when their first time i was this woman's first time killing a guy holy shit yeah and she's and but this is like a survival story yeah and the cabin trope worked out like you said it's tropes on troops but then it does like you said subvert like i didn't expect the sister did i she's the only person we
Starting point is 00:26:02 liked and the way people do it's the sister the the friend's wife. Yeah, the way people do die. It's very primal, you know. Yeah. I loved this. I loved it, too. And just last thing.
Starting point is 00:26:13 I also, I didn't mention earlier, I really love how calm, cool, and collected and resourceful and always taking his time to assess the situation. Tom Hardy was. It didn't matter again how impossible the situation felt
Starting point is 00:26:24 and how high the stakes where you always feel like, damn, this guy's a badass. He's kind of take care of business. Like, those are my favorite type of action characters. It seemed like a character who was in a state of being fraught frantic, but was able to
Starting point is 00:26:36 use that to focus when there was a violence erupting. Watch Bronson. I've never seen it. One of my favorite Tom Hardin has a lot of time. I want to see it. If you want some action comedy, watch this means Warham and Chris Pine.
Starting point is 00:26:49 It's never seen that movie, but it's that McChie. Yeah. Rees Fetherspoon is the female It's a rom-com action movie. Watch some Tom Hardy. He's an absolute treasure. Oh, soundtrack too. Amazing. Also the soundtrack. One of my personal favorites is
Starting point is 00:27:02 Stuart, a life backwards, him and been in a Cumberbatch in their late teens, early 20s, and it's a beautiful story about a homeless man that actually Tom Hardy to this day still speaks highly of. He's an incredible man. He's a delight.

Starting point is 00:27:34 Tom Hardy say that he's an artist, you know, so he experimented with, uh, men, women, you know, did the whole shambang. So that way, uh, he had to experiment, get it out of the system. The whole wee bang. And so I was like, all right. I want to be like Tom Hardy. And my biggest regret that one of the guys wasn't you, man. I wish it was you.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Oh, my God. I wish to God it was you. Can you imagine? I'd probably wouldn't be married right now. Dude. I'd probably actually be living it up with you in Atlanta.
