Mayhem!

"Whenever 'Mayhem!' makes any attempt at character building, it feels as if we’re watching a chintzy DTV movie, and as a result reveals itself as a run-of-the-mill revenge flick that practically crawls toward its preordained destination (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)" 

"The stunt work is often extraordinary (...) and Lyes, a former French kickboxing champion, has moves most action stars can only approximate" 

"[It] yearns to be taken seriously in all the wrong places" 

"This slow-bruising riff on 'The Raid' barely rises to the level of a low-key hullabaloo despite its promise of absolute pandemonium. " 

"Gens doesn’t fulfill on the punctuation in his premise, especially in the interminable first half of the film, which starts with a bang that portends 'The Raid'-esque non-stop action and then spins its wheels in set-up that feels like it takes forever. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"Revenge is often described as a dish best served cold, but with the way 'Mayhem!' draws audiences into its compelling story, this film is white hot" 

"The best action movie of the year came early in 2024 (...) Mayhem! is a late Christmas miracle for action fans everywhere"
