Anybody who's seen The Raid or Gangs of London won't be surprised by the brutal action shown in the Havoc trailer, and this is just a taster it seems.
"Havoc is my love letter to the heroic bloodshed genre; the films that came out of Hong Kong in the '80s and '90s," Evans said last month at a Netflix preview event.
"But it's also a hard boiled, noir-ish cop thriller set over two nights before Christmas. But it's not really a Christmas movie, as you would expect from me! It's about Tom Hardy, who plays Walker, who's a sort of corrupt cop and dabbles in some shit he shouldn't do."
Bring it on.
Havoc is released on Netflix on April 25.
