    Chaos is an average movie with a few entertaining moments. It tries to throw in a number of twist and be more creative than it really is. The acting is average. Wesley Snipes detracts from the movie a bit. Not a bad movie, but one that is destined for obscurity.

    "Chaos" is an average and predictable movie. What really makes me laugh about these crime thrillers ala "Inside Man" / "Usual Suspects" is that, when they end up making a mess of a movie, the screenwriter has to put up some extra scenes where everything has to be explained. Don't...( read more) get me wrong, I understod from the start what was going on, so I think it's a way to underestimate the viewers intellect.

    "Chaos" starts in an interesting way. But then it starts to drag a lot. The action also is below average. I expected a hell of a lot more from a movie starring Statham and Snipes.

    P.S "Inside Man + "Usual Suspects" kick ass...

    It's Inside Man meets Heat meets The Usual suspects. A mind-blowing and razor-sharp suspense-thriller that will keep you guessing right till the very end. Explosive non-stop action and breathtaking suspense. A pulse-pounding and heart-racing plot thats is gripping as it is electr...( read more)ifying with great twist and turns. Cool and character driven. A full-throttle, exciting and riveting action-packed thrill-ride. Sizzeling, smart, crackeling and well excuted in it's style. It's a real major kick of adreniline. Thribes on intelligence of it's plot and the strenghts of it's characters. Jason Statham and Ryan Phillippe are outstanding. Wesley Snipes is teriffic.

    I wanted to like this more than I did. I'm a fan of Jason Statham, and I enjoy Wesley Snipes. This movie tries soooo hard to be something it's not: GOOD. The dialog was embarrassingly cheesy, and the acting was atrocious. The only redeeming factor is that the story line was a...( read more)ctually really good. However, the dialog appeared forced...

    The ending really sold the movie for me. Chaos starts off with a bang and leaves you craving answers throughout.... it slowly gives you a piece of the puzzle until it all falls into place at the end. It's very intriguing and doesn't disappoint. About 3/4 of the way thru, this movie really kicks into 4th gear and takes off... it's just a shame that it is chalk full of mediocre writing and acting. But if you can turn off the criticism for 1 hr 45 min, you can really enjoy this film.

    Think.....

    Inside Man + War + Crank = Chaos

    A pretty decent action film for a straight to DVD offering. It has a good cast and is entertaining enough, just a bit predictable. However most action fans will enjoy this.
  • January 3, 2010
    this film starts out well enough but slowly slips into the usual obvious plots and set pieces. the castings okay but no depth. it's nice to see snipes again though.

    this was really a Choas Theory. The End was cool though.
    Here some Facts, I love digging their Mistakes, though its mostly after watching them a few times. I just dont want to Spoil for em who hasnt seen it yet. Please let me Know if this was a "SPOILER" for you.



    Revealing mistakes:

    The composition shot of the newspaper articles in the beginning of the film detailing the accidental shooting have different headlines to advance the storyline, but the article contents are identical on each clipping, and have to do with the stock market, not a murder.


    Factual errors:

    Drug cabinets are never in patient's rooms.


    Crew or equipment visible:

    When Chris Lei is attacked by Lorenz, a few film shots are shown of the inside of the house where the attack takes place. In the shot showing the staircase the light through the windows reflects the shadow of a crewman upon the floor, who quickly ducks out of sight.


    Plot holes: The bank robbers (Snipes and his crew) put on their face masks first after entering the bank - and the police still spend hours, in vain, trying to find an image of their faces on the tapes from the banks security cameras.


    Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Conners and Dekker are talking in the car about Dekker's father, Conners says, "Your father was a hero." In the next shot Dekker replies, "Yes, he was," yet his lips don't move.


    Revealing mistakes: During the motorcycle chase, driving through a glass door, the glass breaks long before the motorcycle comes in contact with it.

    Capt. Jenkins: Now, after finding Callo and Lee dead today, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that Curtis is eliminating his accomplices one by one.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Lorenz: You picked the wrong day not to use the ATM.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Bernie Callo: I need to speak with you.
    Quentin Conners: Well t
