The idea is very clever and I did really like the twist, unfortunately, I saw it coming a mile away. The very end makes up for it but there is no excusing the poor script which is painful throughout and the shoddy action scenes. It would have been a far better film had they have ... read more

Statham goes up against Snipes in this twisty thriller which turns out to be as slippy as a snake towards the end when you don't totally expect it. Its not a huge deal really as I knew Statham couldn't die in a flick haha he's not the type, but I didn't see him going bad, kinda t... read more

Had the rest of this film been as good as it's twist then I would have rated this much higher. The storyline itself was enjoyable, but somehow slumped somewhat in the middle.
An evolving performance from Ryan Phillippe, but this film was very much highs and lows with nothing ... read more -

Disgraced cop (Statham) who screwed up a hostage situation, is called back into action to "negotiate" a bank hostage job orchestrated by slick operator (Snipes). He drops the ball on this one too, or does he? The heist, and spectacular escape by the perps, leaves no one dead, and... read more

"Chaos" is an average and predictable movie. What really makes me laugh about these crime thrillers ala "Inside Man" / "Usual Suspects" is that, when they end up making a mess of a movie, the screenwriter has to put up some extra scenes where everything has to be explained. Don't... read more

It's Inside Man meets Heat meets The Usual suspects. A mind-blowing and razor-sharp suspense-thriller that will keep you guessing right till the very end. Explosive non-stop action and breathtaking suspense. A pulse-pounding and heart-racing plot thats is gripping as it is electr... read more

I wanted to like this more than I did. I'm a fan of Jason Statham, and I enjoy Wesley Snipes. This movie tries soooo hard to be something it's not: GOOD. The dialog was embarrassingly cheesy, and the acting was atrocious. The only redeeming factor is that the story line was a... read more

A pretty decent action film for a straight to DVD offering. It has a good cast and is entertaining enough, just a bit predictable. However most action fans will enjoy this.

This was a decent watch and really...that's about it.
I love Jason Statham and he played his usual, gruff character which, for me, never gets old, but this film was really pedestrian.
The movie pretends to be leaving you clues throughout as Phillipe's character attempts to piec... read more
Critic Reviews
...it's awfully difficult to look past the almost laughably inept instances of plotting within Giglio's screenplay... Full Review
Slightly derivative, the plot is nevertheless a well constructed thriller and the target audience will be well satisfied. Full Review
