Editorial Review:
A group of wealthy Los Angeles teenagers try to become part of the "gangsta" lifestyle but soon run into trouble when they come face to face with a real gang of Latino drug dealers.Running Time: 92 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 794043843228
After making her name in The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway takes a radical detour with this edgy independent drama. As Allie, a wealthy gangsta wannabe, she makes no excuses for her delinquent behavior: "We're just teenagers and we're bored." When her Pacific Palisades posse, including pal Emily (Bully's Bijou Phillips), starts hanging out with a Latino gang (including Six Feet Under's Freddy RodrÃguez), they learn what thug life is really about. Hathaway couldn't be more game: She swears, she fights--she disrobes (several times). Written and directed by Oscar winners Stephen Gaghan (Traffic) and Barbara Kopple (American Dream), Havoc plays like a B movie, in the vein of the superior crazy/beautiful, and was released straight to video. For Hathaway fans, it's a chance to see this young talent in a very different light, but for Gaghan and Kopple followers, this lurid morality tale is sure to come as a letdown. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Anne Hathaway... as a wigger?
I must admit, that alone drew me to Havoc, a tale about a young wigger girl named Allison who denies her rich, suburbian L.A. settings for the hard and gritty "thug" life of East L.A. Honestly, I didn't even know Hathaway would be topless in it (three times, as a matter of fact.) And honestly, I really could care less about that as she's not exactly Jessica Alba material, anyways. Moving on.
Hathaway, the tall, Owl-looking darling girl we know from about a dozen or so Princess roles ... Read More
Rating:  - Someone shoulda busteed a cap in all of 'em!
So, in this movie, Anne Hathaway tries to show us she has "range" by showing us her um, assets (I tried to use another word, but Amazon wouldn't accept my review). Great. Congratulations sweetie, you're a serious actress now.
Nothing in this movie is real. If people actually behaved the way the kids in this movie did in real life, they would wind up dead in a ditch. Freddy RodrÃguez plays a gangster with a heart of gold who puts up with the shenanigans of a bunch of bored, spoiled ... Read More
Rating: - Good!
About young generation dealing with life. Also, Bijou Philips and Anne Hathaway nude, can't beat that. lol
Rating: - Lacks... almost everything, really.
Havoc (Barbara Kopple, 2005)
Havoc, oddly, finds itself in the unenviable position of being a character-driven movie whose characters are not strong enough to survive without a plot. The end result, as one might expect, is sometimes intriguing, but that's not enough to battle the boredom of the rest of the movie's running time.
There isn't much of a plot, as it's a character-driven movie, but what there is is that a bunch of gangsta wannabes get mixed up with a real East ... Read More
Rating: - Accurate but for one fatal flaw
This film would like you to think the hip hop, ghetto gang bangers young teenagers are enticed by are beaners. I think most people are going to see through this and laugh their way into turning this DVD into a Frisbee. Having lived in the Hispanic ghetto for seven years, I can tell you white girls do not flock to either the Filipino or Hispanic parties. I think, by process of elimination, you can do the math and figure out which ethnicity I'm talking about. Hint: It's not the Caucasian gangs, ... Read More
