"Addiction is too good": Netflix's most-watched movie is an incredible thriller starring Tom Hardy.

One of the most-watched films this past week on Netflix has been an action thriller, with touches of gangster films, political corruption, and personal vendettas, from a creator renowned for works like the series Gangs of London . Its success has not gone unnoticed, especially among fans of the most savage and visceral cinema , who have pushed this title to the top of the platform's podium in terms of English-language films.

The story delves into the underworld of a city dominated by crime, where a police officer with a murky past becomes the target of a criminal gang , an unscrupulous politician, and even his own colleagues at the police station.

What begins as an urban thriller with conspiracies and murky twists transforms into an adrenaline rush in its second half, with action sequences choreographed to the last detail and shootouts as stylized as they are violent.

The production has generated mixed reviews: while some criticize the excessive use of CGI (computer-generated imagery) in its opening stages, others celebrate the return of its director's more physical and forceful cinema. Fans of The Raid and The Apostle will recognize the unmistakable signature of Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans in their more chaotic shots, once again leaving his mark on a work that pays homage to the action films of the 1980s and 1990s.

With a cast led by Tom Hardy , accompanied by Forest Whitaker and Timothy Olyphant , this thriller titled Havoc has found its place as one of the biggest hits in the Netflix catalog so far this year. Available since April 25, it has already positioned itself as the most-watched film on the platform globally thanks to an explosive combination of action and narrative tension.
