Havoc (Unrated Version)

Great Dvd. Perfect shape and price. Fast shipping.

She's crazy.

I much prefer the unrated version of Havoc. I had the r-rated and it was nowhere near as good.

Havoc was the movie that really broke Anne Hathaway out of the Disney mode. In it, she plays a rich Los Angeles high-school girl who hangs out with a bunch of kids who pretend to be a part of the hip-hop gangsta culture. When she ends up going to a party in East LA to hang out with actual gang members, she discovers that the life she thought it was and reality are two very different things. Part of the plot involves one of Allison's classmates making a documentary about the wannabe gangsta lifestyle of her and her friends. While I do not think it was all that integral to the plot, it did not distract from it.Overall, I would say the movie is good but somewhat predictable and formulaic. It did show that Hathaway had real acting chops as she went from playing the wannabe gangsta chick to a "normal" acting rich suburban teenager to a very vulnerable kid when she was called out for the act she put on, with ease. And, of course, it was the first time she appeared topless on-screen diverging greatly from her Princess Diaries role. The movie also touts a strong supporting cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Freddy Rodriguez, Bijou Phillips, and Channing Tatum.For those who get the DVD, there are no extras included. It is closed captioned, but that is it. I am not sure if the movie streams on any of the popular streaming platforms, so this may still be one that you want to pick up on disc even with the lack of extras. While it is not Hathaway's best movie, it is definitely worth checking out, especially if you are a fan of hers.

(2.5/5 stars) Allison knows she can imitate anyone and any sort of life, but she also knows that is not genuine. She is a disaffected teen looking for something that will make her believe in life. Her parents fight with one another, which has caused her to distrust relationships of any sort. She has sex with fellow teen Toby, though she refuses to label him "boyfriend." She thinks she might be in love with her best friend, Emily (Bijou Phillips), though she has yet to determine what love is. The crowd with which she hangs out doesn't help either; they are "wiggers:" white teens who want to live the lives of the gangsta rap they so idolize. While this identity confusion is annoying, it does provide the impetus for taking the group to East L.A., where they seek drugs and gang membership. If this sounds ludicrous, that is because it is. Whether or not it is common for wealthy, very attractive girls to head to the other side of the tracks and engage in sex with drug dealers in order to become gang members is unknown to me because I belong to neither group. However implausible it sounds, it does make for an unusual and fairly interesting film. There are some decent moments in this film and tension certainly builds, though a few things kept it from being good. The bored white teens from Pacific Palisades are supposedly from wealthy families, but there isn't much shown to suggest that. Perhaps the film's budget was very limited because the ending is also truncated to a point of being ambiguous. What are the fates of Toby and Emily? Nonetheless, Anne Hathaway does a very good job in her role as Allison and she proves with this role that she is capable of carrying a movie. The rest of the cast was also quite good, though I must reiterate that most of the teen "wiggers" were just plain irritating. Worth watching to see Anne Hathaway.

Interesting movie. The only reason to watch is Anne Hathaway.

I rated this 1 star, only because i wasn't allowed to say 0! In my nearly 25 years of watching videos, this is far and the biggest PIECE OF CRAP ever released. The so called Unrated version is NO different than the almost totally censored R release and is the biggest disappointment any studio has ever given us. I am boycotting all releases by this studio henceforth and if you're considering wasting your money on this garbage, consider this: i pre-ordered mine for alot less than i thought i'd have to pay for it, but returned it without opening it, after viewing it from Netflix (the GREATEST of all-time!)PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR $ ON THIS SO CALLED MOVIE!!!

Nice movie
