I have no idea what the studio was thinking when they made Havoc, but it feels like they were trying to attract Andrew Tate fans rather than make an actual film. The lead actor, who can otherwise be competent, stumbles around here like a parody of a macho man: ridiculously wide-legged, stiff, and posing as if he thought he was in a TikTok video instead of a serious thriller.
What was supposed to be a dark and intense journey through the city's underworld instead becomes a shallow, mechanical procession where everyone dies and nobody cares. The film is completely soulless. Every character is an empty caricature, and in the end, it becomes utterly uninteresting who survives - or why we should even care.
I genuinely regret wasting time from my life on this film.

This is the improbable love story between the worn-out theater actor Harald Skog and the recently retired occupational therapist Eva Söderberg. Harald (Rolf Lassgård) refuses to give up after a severe stroke, and Eva (Lena Olin) remains undeterred despite the challenges posed by her patients. We follow Harald's journey towards an unexpected comeback.
Both Rolf Lassgård and Lena Olin infuse their roles with magnetic presence. While Rolf convincingly embodies a revered theater actor with all his gravitas, Lena seems a bit too grand for her role, making it hard to see Eva Söderberg instead of Lena Olin.
This was a moment of pleasant entertainment, but not much more. Many non-Swedish viewers might find the character dynamics and their relationships unclear. It's likely that the script better captured these Swedish social nuances, but they didn't fully translate to the screen.

This is a slowly told story about two brothers, a bully and a silent one. Guess who will win?
This is not a western for wt people who have simple ideas about what entertainment is. They probably do best to stick to such things they are better at consuming. It surprises me that some are actually capable of writing a "review" here, and rating it, but must be considered to be at the limit of their ability.
