The 10 Best New Movies On Netflix In April 2025
Havoc (2025)
Gareth Evans became a notable name in action cinema when he unleashed one of the most incredibly choreographed fight scenes ever put on film, The Raid: Redemption, back in 2011, as well as the film’s sequel, The Raid 2, in 2014. But since then, Evans has only directed one film since (Apostle), and it’s been seven years since we’ve seen another one—that is, until now. Havoc brings Tom Hardy back to the gritty, relentless action roles he’s known for. And this time, he’s taking the fight straight into the criminal underworld. This upcoming action-thriller sees Hardy playing Walker, a battle-worn detective trying to rescue a politician’s son after a drug deal goes violently wrong. As the rescue mission spirals into something much bigger, Walker finds himself dodging bullets and betrayals while unraveling a web of corruption involving crime lords, crooked cops and high-level power players. You can be part of this wild ride when Havoc hits Netflix on April 25.
