Read More dont listen to these other reviews, it was a really cool movie and yes the white kids trying to be gangsta made alot of it seem very comedyish the story was pretty cool and some of the scenes were very intense. Its a movie about one type of people basically going to the other side of the tracks so to speak and seeing how different the world is to a lower class ( financially ) of people live. Anyway I strongly reccomend this movie and of course getting to see anne and bijou nude was a great bonus.... Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More The idea of some suburban kids trying to fit into thug culture was interesting, but sometimes poorly executed - Anne Hathaway singing was corny. However, if you think her and Bijou Phillips are attractive, you will be rewarded. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More If you want to see Anne Hathaway playing a very bad girl, this might be worth watching once, if you can stay awake. I must warn you, however - when it does actually start looking like it might get exciting, it suddenly ends, leaving you hanging. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

As a parent, I've got to admit that it held my attention. I haven't seen any other movies with Anne Hathaway but I think she did a good job of portraying the lead character in this movie. The ending was a bit confusing but, overall, I think this was the film equivalent of Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia". Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More HAVOC should have gone directly to some recycling bin. This is shocking when you consider that the movie was directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Barbara Kopple ("Harlan County USA," "American Dream") and written by Stephan Gaghan ("Traffic" and "Syriana"). Talk about provenance (and then the pointlessness of provenance). The movie attempts to address Southern California life in moneyed Pacific Palisades and poverty-ed east L.A., but gets everything wrong about the clash of culture, economics and character. Gosh, even "Crazy/Beautiful" captured this better. "Havoc" is SO bad--so stupidly imagined, written and directed--that it occasionally recalls "Showgirls," but without quite the requisite level of "camp" to push it over the top into idiot greatness. The performers all try hard (you can often see the sweat), but under the Sisyphus-ian rock provided by writer and director, all is lost. Post-viewing (if you manage to finish the film), dont complain that you hadn't been warned. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The movie lacked in story and the kids acting all "gansta" made it more of a comedy at times. I'd say it would be a rental but not a buy. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
