Bring him back to me and your slate is clear: briefly; the son of Lawrence Beaumont [Forest Whitaker:] he is an estate tycoon that is also running for Mayer; but let's not kid ourselves here he is also crooked as well; Unfortunately, his son has gotten himself into a world of trouble, so he gets Detective Patrick Walker [Tom Hardy:] he has family issues, in fact they left him and he is also a crooked detective; so he sets off to achieve this task.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 107 minutes film is slow, but then it comes alive when it is time to unleash the havoc

Action, art and comedy; the strongest assets to this title are broadly speaking these chaotic action sequences, which as the title would suggest; they are complete havoc and relentlessly so; so yes they are/can be incredibly graphic with guns, stabbing, cutting and my favourite would have to be a harpoon being used; which as this sequence has a slower death; you know when you have see it/seen it. Because of all of this carnage, if you have that kind of sense of humour; this may be slightly funny to you, as you may think when are they going to stop this sequence of events and yes you will get to see blood splatter and finally watch out for a washing machine.

Character developments and the performances; on both counts; they feel as if they had been left high and dry because of the very slow nature of this title minus the action sequences; so trying to be positive there is solid performances throughout this cast.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; as I have already indicated in one way or another on one hand this film can be seen as slightly a chore to get through, what with for most parts not having any particular get up and go to it, minus the lengthy action sequences, consequently every other aspect feels like the performances are very much carrying this project. But on the other hand where this film does come to life is in these lengthy high octane action sequences, so that is why I have settled on this mark.
