AKAPAD The Film Buff reviews Call Me By Your Name

Gareth Evans and Netflix deliver a gritty, unrelenting masterpiece with Havoc, a dark, visceral love letter to the action-cop genre. This blood-soaked thrill ride, where corruption taints every soul and no one escapes unscathed by the credits, is a raw, pulse-pounding triumph. The Film Buff is all in for this chaotic, adrenaline-fueled delight!

The Film Buff is grateful to those who brought us Havoc.
