"Chaos" didn't end up in the Cinemas due to financial problems, which is what the trivia section says, well you know what? there are some really great flicks that are not popular, that underdog circumstance is not always a bad thing."Chaos" is subtle at times, but worth watching till the very end, sometimes the plot can seem confusing, but if you pay attention the movie will help you get back on track, this is also the type of cine that should be watched more than once especially if it is impossible to understand some aspects of the plot.The performances are fantastic/natural, Jason Statham, Ryan Phillippe do a great job as the main characters, Wesley Snipes who doesn't have that much screen time manages to pull off being a bad guy and he isn't just a bad guy he is a creepy bad guy.The twist is shocking and we see how clever Ryan Phillippe's character is, but by the end of the film it becomes apparent that Jason Statham's character is even more clever."Chaos" has a few intense shoot em up scenes and a high speed car/motorbike chase scene, it has the mystery/crime aspect and the thriller part of trying to catch the killer/killers.

Chaos is about a suspended detective (Statham) who is teamed up with a rookie detective (Ryan Phillippe) to catch a bank robber (Snipes). The bank robber did not steal any money but used a computer virus (based on the Chaos theory, hence the title of the movie) to transfer millions of dollars away from the bank. When the bank robber then starts killing off his accomplices, things get messy for our detectives.The story of Chaos is interesting and the movie starts great with the hostage situation in the bank. After that, however, the movie crawls to a very slow speed when Statham and Phillipe try to work out what has happened. There are some good action moments later on but there are to few to make it a good action movie. It could have been a crime thriller, but unfortunately there is hardly any suspense build up in the movie. The actors (with the exception of Phillipe, who was the only believable character) are all incredible dull and some are just reading their lines. Statham was also miscast, he cannot play a detective with a traumatic past, he is just Statham. Seeing him teamed up with a rookie reminded me of Snatch, but that movie is full of black comedy and cool gangsters, which this movie also lacked.There is a twist at the end, but they did such a poor job with suspense building that I couldn't care any more when it was revealed. Chaos is a mediocre and disappointing movie which could have worked with better acting and suspense building.

This is proof once again that you should not believe every review from the professional movie critics. This is another good Jason Statham movie that is worth watching for its interesting plot development, twists and characters. You really connect with some of the characters in the movie and their motives which all appear realistic. This is not just another shoot em up police flick that Hollywood keeps churning out where the good guy always wins in the end when the upbeat music comes on. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good action flick which does not depend on an entirely predictable plot line with a one track focus on a single Bruce Willis like hero to head the cast list.

The story opens up strongly with the background incident that explains the situation of one of the main characters. It gets better as the movie builds up its story right after the opening in a fast paced fashion. Being more of a detective crime movie than an action, this movie sure was able to bend the viewers expectation from wanting a heavy set action packed flick, to one of intricate story of well-spun web of lies. The twists are build decently with all the neatly placed small details. Despite they are so very much predictable, the twists are appreciable enough when they arrive considering that many of the twists are being build just as the movie comes to a half time duration or so. Jason Statham acted out his character nice enough although it's with less appearance of his great martial arts skills. Wesley Snipes portrayed the antagonist also very well, engaging the viewers focus on the character as the blame point, until the very last twist. Ryan Phillippe fills the shoes of the rookie character stupefied by his new partner quite adequately also.
