Featured review
Like in "Butterfly Effect", this movie doesn't have anything to do with the chaos theory and just made to draw our attention to it. Someone tried to do the movie a smart one so he tried to relate the plot to the chaos theory. It looks like this person didn't know what the theory is about, it's just it sounded "cool", and he tried on the basis of this cool term to do a movie. He really messed up.
Chaos is trying to catch up with movies like 'The Usual Suspect' but the plot and the actors, though they do they work fine, can't be really compared. Although Jason Statham is as good as in any other movie, Wesley Snipes doesn't affect to much with his role. It could be done by someone else, though according to his last couple of movies this one is a major step up. Ryan Phillipe beside Jason Statham looks like a school boy at the blackboard trying to solve equations. As someone already noted here, he reminds Justin Timberlake which is clearly not to his advantage. As for others, I would say that they are doing well.
The worst thing is the over-smart plot that makes no logic at all. I won't add more on this subject.
Not everything is bad. Overall the movie is well done. I think that the appropriate word for it is - quality. This is a high quality movie in most terms. The support actors are good, the action and explosions are made by high standard .The best part of the movie is cinematography. From the beginning of Chaos you know the cinematography keeps you watching the movie till the end.
My personal feeling about this movie is that it was quite OK. I can't say I liked it because of the lack of interest in the plot, not to that it's dumb. I can't say I disliked it either. The camera work and Most of the actor's play make it watchable so it wasn't a total waste of time.
Rarely I stumble into a really good Thriller, so if you would like to see one not expecting to much from it, I would advise you settle for this.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPart of a two-picture deal Jason Statham signed with Franchise Pictures, the original financier. The deal included "Chaos" and "Baker Street", a bank heist movie. When Franchise went bust "Baker Street" went into turnaround and found a home at another studio. It was retitled Braquage à l'anglaise (2008). Statham followed the project through turnaround and eventually starred after waiting two years.
- GoofsThe composition shot of the newspaper articles in the beginning of the film detailing the accidental shooting have different headlines to advance the storyline, but the article contents are identical on each clipping, and have to do with the stock market, not a murder.
