Gareth Evans’ action-thriller movie Havoc has predictably gone to the top of Netflix’s global chart, with Tom Hardy’s barnstorming performance as Detective Patrick Walker leading from the front. The film has invariably left audiences pumped full of adrenaline and looking for their next action fix. Luckily, Netflix has plenty more movies of Havoc’s ilk to get stuck into, some of which even share major similarities in terms of plot and visual style.

Films about gang warfare, narcotics and crooked cops aren’t hard to come by on the streaming platform, although not all of them are as action-packed and exhilarating as Havoc. Nevertheless, several of the best action movies on Netflix right now are tailor-made for fans of Hardy’s latest thriller, with explosive set-pieces to match and star names comparable with Havoc’s cast. In fact, the likes of Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Wahlberg, and Chris Hemsworth would all give Hardy a run for his money with their appearances in action flicks currently streaming on Netflix.

Run All Night was director Jaume Collet-Serra’s best action thriller before his 2024 Netflix record-breaker Carry-On. It stars Liam Neeson as a retired Irish gangster who becomes embroiled in a failed heroin deal via his son. Like Havoc, the movie is chock-full of no-nonsense action sequences and take-no-prisoners gun battles. The role of chief gangland antagonists, played by the Triads in Gareth Evans’ latest release, is instead taken up by the Albanian mafia in Run All Night.

Tom Hardy’s new action crime movie Havoc is now streaming on Netflix, but the star also has another great option that fans of the movie will love.

Those who enjoyed the dynamic between Forest Whitaker’s Lawrence Beaumont and Justin Cornwell’s Charlie in Havoc will appreciate the strained and conflicted relationship that Neeson’s character has with his son, played by Joel Kinnaman, in Run All Night. What’s more, the movie’s final scene bears an uncanny resemblance to Havoc’s bittersweet ending.

This action thriller set on the Indian Subcontinent continues with the theme of fathers and sons caught up in the midst of drug-fueled gang warfare. Extraction features Chris Hemsworth in his best non-Marvel movie role as the equivalent to Tom Hardy’s Walker in Havoc, Australian mercenary Tyler Rake, who’s tasked with saving the son of an Indian narcotics kingpin. The movie moves at lightning speed, with quickfire chase scenes and gun battles spanning jungle and urban settings.
The unfamiliarity of Extraction‘s setting only adds to the sense of disorientating danger and unforeseeable peril inherent in Tyler Rake’s mission.
Hemsworth is well supported by standout performances from Randeep Hooda and Rudhraksh Jaiswal, in particular. What Extraction lacks in moral purpose, it more than makes up for in slick and superbly executed action sequences, which make for a full-throttle, wholly immersive thrill ride through the criminal underworlds of Dhaka and Mumbai. If this setting is new to those who enjoyed Havoc, its unfamiliarity will only add to the sense of disorientating danger and unforeseeable peril inherent in Tyler Rake’s mission. Extraction certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted.

The first instalment of this now-iconic franchise starring Denzel Washington introduces us to retired Marine and Defense Intelligence officer Robert McCall, who takes it upon himself to save Chloë Grace Moretz’s sex worker Alina from the violent Russian mobsters who’ve effectively enslaved her. The Equalizer digs a little deeper into its characters’ lives than most other films on this list, but still demonstrates its all-action credentials when needed. Indeed, the movie’s final half an hour is effectively one long action sequence, which cements Washington’s status as a hero of the genre.

Robert McCall might seem like an unlikely candidate for the actor’s most enduring action role, but it’s the part that he’s played more than any other. The Equalizer also reunites him with Antoine Fuqua, the filmmaker who directed Washington’s Oscar-winning performance in the 2001 movie Training Day. Given that their reunion project was based on a four-season 1980s crime thriller series, it was always likely that a successful theatrical run for The Equalizer would lead to at least one sequel. So it proved, with all three Equalizer movies presently available to stream on Netflix.

2 Guns is the second of three Denzel Washington movies on this list, highlighting just how much of an action hero the celebrated actor really is. Even though this film is much lighter in tone than Havoc, it’s almost as thrilling, with Washington and Mark Walhberg playing a pair of undercover agents taking on the crooked side of the law, as well as a Mexican drug cartel. While it certainly has a comedic bent to it, 2 Guns definitely isn’t short on shootouts, as its title suggests.

This action comedy flick is far from the best movie of Denzel Washington’s storied career, but it’s just as much fun as a hard-hitting thriller like Havoc, albeit in a slightly different way. The story of Robert “Bobby Beans” Trench and Michael “Stig” Stigman isn’t a tragic one, but the bond the two characters build is just as touching as Patrick Walker’s love for his daughter in Havoc, or the father-son relationship between Lawrence Beaumont and his son, Charlie.

Shaft
2000
A sequel to the 1971 blaxploitation classic, Shaft stars Samuel L. Jackson as the second Detective John Shaft, an NYPD cop who knows his way around a gunfight. This crime thriller has become an action classic in its own right, which pays its respects to the movie it’s drawn from while taking crime-themed action thrillers into the 21st century. Jackson brings some added steel to the title character, in a role he could have done without reprising for Shaft’s far-inferior 2019 sequel.
Shaft‘s difference in tone from Havoc doesn’t make its action sequences any less substantial.
Given its heavily stylized aesthetic, complete with classic soundtrack and pitch-perfect one-liners, Shaft is another movie on this list that’s a little lighter in tone than Havoc. This difference in tone doesn’t make its action sequences any less substantial, however. As fun as Shaft is, the movie knows when to move up a gear with a hail of bullets. In addition, its opening premise about the son of a powerful figure in the city being implicated in a crime is one that fans of Havoc will be able to connect with immediately.

While Layer Cake is the movie on this list that generally has the least in common with Havoc in genre terms, they’re the only two narcotics-themed action movies currently on Netflix to star Tom Hardy. Matthew Vaughn’s 2004 action thriller is a gangster heist movie made very much in the style of his longtime collaborator and directorial mentor Guy Ritchie. It’s fast-moving, fast-talking, and unapologetically British. Tom Hardy was starring in just his third major feature film when he appeared in Layer Cake, in a part that’s very different from his typical roles.
Tom Hardy’s screen debut was in Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg’s TV war drama Band of Brothers, in 2001.
Hardy plays Clarkie, the well-spoken assistant of Daniel Craig’s unnamed drugs distributor who generally offers very little in the way of physical protection for his crew. These days, we’d more likely see the actor playing Craig’s enforcer, or, even better, one of the higher-up gangsters he goes up against in Layer Cake. Nevertheless, it’s interesting to see Tom Hardy at the start of his career featuring in a gangster from a British director, not too dissimilar from Havoc, albeit playing an unlikely role.

The third Denzel Washington movie on this list is a Spike Lee masterpiece, in which the actor plays Detective Keith Frazer, who becomes a hostage negotiator for the NYPD during a bank robbery. In this case, though, Washington isn’t in the thick of the action, which takes place inside the bank in question, and is instigated by gang leader Dalton Russell, played by Clive Owen. More gripping than all-action, Inside Man is a mind-mending mystery thriller with an ending that leaves its central police officer just as open-ended as Detective Patrick Walker in Havoc.

This is a different caliber of movie from the other action thrillers listed here, with supporting actors Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer on top form, and Lee’s outstanding direction underscored by a brilliant soundtrack from jazz composer Terence Blanchard. Still, it’s one for fans of Havoc to enjoy all the more for its thematic and visual contrasts to the movie they’ve just seen, as well as for its tonal similarities to the Gareth Evans action flick.
