Chaos

generic making generic look generic

It tries

Bland and forgettable mid-level actioner wastes a good B-level cast – surprisingly Snipes seems completely disinterested in being involved, leaving the chief source of charisma to Statham, who does his hard-bitten and cynical schtick adequately, but with no opposing force to play against, he turns somewhat dull – a story and character twist on a Shyamalan level leaves the film on a comparative high note, but the twist itself feels like an arbitrary attempt at a jolt of energy.

This one lived up to its name for me. It never quite came together and was chaotic and uninteresting, with the exception of some decent action sequences.

Bad writing, weird editing choices that turn what should be compelling scenes into distractions, and some pretty standard Statham, Snipes and Phillipe acting. Not anywhere near where a decent action movie should be.

I found it pretty funny but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.

I just did a 15-movie Statham marathon and this was the only nearly unwatchable film in it.

Cringe-worthy from minute 1.

Typical straight to video fare.

A movie from Wesley Snipes with a really interesting story? Not really. There tried to be a story, but way too many twists to make it work. Keegan Connor Tracy's got spark in here, but her part was mere some minutes. Shame!

Much too weightless to be suspenseful or thrilling. Statham phones it in, there's a WHOLE LOT of nonsense about chaos theory that means nothing, lots of prowling about with guns, lots of people getting shot in the arm, Wesley Snipes wears a hat and giggles. So at least he had the sense to ham it up.

At some point you just want somebody to say "Rolo Tommasi" and get it over with.

Not bad for a switch-up film. It really made some sense that that was really going on the whole time. But they spelled it out W-A-Y T-O-O C-L-E-A-R-L-Y in the end.

Good but somewhat standard for cop films.

Somehow lacks drive. Was a little bit predictable watching it the first time.

Watchabel

OK I am a Statham fan, that's why I got it, it was decent though not awesome.

Amusing

Really was coming across as a reworked Die Hard 3 but then it took a real turn, then another. Great story, decent acting from important characters. Worth a rewatch.

Good movie, interesting twists throughout, and Statham is just a solid staple.

A seemingly standard actioneer but with more than a few twists to bring it above average. Looking at the cast you may assume a lot more martial arts action than the film actually contains but it's nice to see them not relying 100% on their staple... and it's even nicer to see Snipes not phoning in his performance as he has in many recent movies. Go in with no expectations except a crime/action caper and you may be pleasantly surprised!

Despite weak performance of Wesley Snipes, the movie does not disappoint and shows a certain evolution of Jason Statham. Better than many action films.

Passes the time.
