Chaos

There are some films that are basically the same story you’ve seen a hundred times, but are done in a way that just elevates them above the mediocre. Chaos is one of them. You can hate it for Jason Statham’s (dubious) attempt at an American accent, or you can just ignore it and go along for the ride. Jason Statham and Ryan Phillippe play a couple of cops on the trail of Wesley Snipes, after he and a gang rob a bank. Or do they? There are many questions raised by the ‘heist’ and, although some have likened it to ‘Inside Man’ (another film about a bank heist) Chaos may start out predictable, but there are enough twists and turns along the way to keep it interesting. It’ll never be a classic. It doesn’t have the ‘star power’ to really make people take much notice of it. And, like I said, it’s not a classic, but, if you’re looking for some cops and robbers action with a few decent twists, you could probably do worse (like try and do an American accent when you’re from London – seriously, they could have just made it so that Statham was a British guy who just so happened to work in the U. S.).

Statham, a suspended cop, is called into negotiate with bank robbers who have seized a bank and taken hostages.

When the police eventually manage to gain entry to the bank, the robbers have disappeared and no money appears to have been stolen.

This is the start of a cat and mouse chase where the robbers always seem to be just one step ahead. The film follows the Police investigation and analysis and really does live up to its name!

liked this film, love anything with jason statham init. he is a brilliant actor and very very handsome cant wait to watch his other films.

Love statham but this was boring, was so bored actually started revising while watching it! Would have been not too bad had i not paid for it, so if its free and your bored then go for it but I wouldn't waste my money on it.

cool film, great cat & mouse thing, been waiting for this film for a while - worth the wait!!!

jason statham is great in it but i like him in anything so i guess i biased, wesley snipes is worth a look too, does play a good baddie but then he always did ****
