Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simply A Masterpiece

Good concept, poorly executed.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is the kind of a movie Statham earned bad rep for. And it doesn't even deserve a review, except that writing one might give you a chance to save 106 minutes of your life, a luxury I didn't have. So here goes.First off, don't be fooled by the mumbo jumbo. This film tries so hard to look smart and slick, but ends up typical Statham stupid. The all so meaningful lines all around feel like a random scramble of big words instead of the pieces of one big puzzle that would fit together towards the end. In fact, there's no big puzzle at all: this film is so devoid of any logic and consistency that 30 minutes in I ultimately gave up trying to even guess what's going on.But turning off your brains won't help you sit out this one. Chaos is not decent even at its action aspect. A handful of fights and shootouts, also feeling just randomly put in, are all that's gonna be served to you. And served so lazily that the film doesn't even bother trying to explain why all the stupid stuff like an unexpectedly activated loud beeper while a person carrying one lies in an ambush could happen in the first place. In fact, it's even for the better, because when the film actually tries to explain something to create at least a resemblance of some mystery unfolded, it fails so miserably you'd wish you never heard that nonsense at all.Please, don't repeat my mistake by trusting the "it's not so bad" reviews. I don't know if the authors of those are brain-dead or just trolling. But this is not even a typical Statham movie. This is much worse, a total wreck I hope Statham and Snipes feel ashamed of now. Although, when you participate in a garbagefest like this, I doubt you worry too much about integrity or conscience. After all, such films are made with strictly one purpose in mind: to rob the naive and gullible audience out of some cash. Well, don't be a tool and stay away from this mess of a film, instead, spend your time on something more exciting, like taking a crap or washing dishes. You're welcome!

You put two of the greatest b-movie action stars in a movie. And you don't have them fight. The story is not as original as the wrighter/director thinks, so it's an anti climax when the movie stars don't get to do what they're good at. All-in-all, this is a cheap ass action movie with a bunch of famous actors.

A twisty-turny bank heist thriller that thinks its better than it is. In this respect, CHAOS is not dissimilar to Spike Lee's INSIDE MAN, although I think this film has the edge: it just gets on with telling the story rather than faffing around with overdone stylisation. Despite the attempts to link the plot and characters to chaos theory, this is very much a routine thriller, and far from the best that the 'heist' genre has to offer (for that, try the Gene Hackman film of the same name). I enjoyed it for the script, which, when it isn't theorising or springing twists on the viewer, is actually fairly entertaining.Jason Statham headlines proceedings as a tough cop. It's not a new role for the actor, but if you can get past his dodgy American accent, he's actually rather good. It makes a nice change from him kicking heads in and I think there's a half-decent actor buried within him somewhere. The real surprise, though, is Ryan Phillippe, who turns out to be very good as Statham's by-the-book partner. I've despised Philippe in everything from WAY OF THE GUN to CRUEL INTENTIONS, but he seems to have matured somewhere along the line and I believed in him here. Wesley Snipes is the third part of the triangle, and plays a stock wisecracking villain straight out of a B-movie.There are a couple of nice turns from supporting players, particularly those making up the cop team: Nicholas Lea (THE X-FILES) is excellent; Justine Waddell is just as good, and Henry Czerny ain't half bad either. This isn't really an action film, despite a couple of pretty decent chases, but the plot kept me watching. Not great maybe, but solid entertainment all the same.

Chaos looks like a bog standard B film with two action stars but it has a twist or two up its sleeve but it stills makes for a lacklustre film with shades of Inside Man.Jason Statham plays Quentin Connors a suspended cop when a hostage situation went wrong and is recalled to action to deal with a bank robber (Wesley Snipes) who broke into a bank and left without stealing a penny.Connors is teamed up with a rookie played by Ryan Phillippe who gives the film acting credibility and comes into his own in the second half of the film when Connors is off the scene.Its a derivative low rent action film which had budgetary problems during filming. Snipes plays a glorified cameo who literally phones in his performance and it has to employ flashbacks for the film's plot to make sense as well as unravel its twist and turns.The title alludes to chaos theory which is in fact employed by the robbers in this film as the bank robbery is a diversion for a more elaborate techno heist. Maybe they should had got Jeff Goldblum in to explain the plot.
