This cast makes the film very watchable even though it is not great. Jason Statham is his strong, compelling self as the wrongly disgraced cop seeking redemption. Ryan Phillipe is like able but a little miscast as the cerebral cop trying to put the pieces of this puzzle together. It is good to see The ageless Wesley Snipes as the villain, although he is underutilized. Decent action. Weak dialogue. The strength is the interplay of these actors as their characters. There is a fun twist I did not see coming.
Plot summary
In Seattle, detective Quentin Conners is unfairly suspended and his partner Jason York leaves the police force after a tragic shooting on Pearl Street Bridge, when the hostage and the criminal die. During a bank heist with a hostage situation, Conners is assigned in charge of the operation with the rookie Shane Dekker as his partner. The thieves, lead by Lorenz, apparently do not steal a penny from the bank. While chasing the gangsters, the police team disclose that they planted a virus in the system, stealing one billion dollars from the different accounts, using the principle of the Chaos Theory. Further, they find that Lorenz is killing his accomplices.

Great Statham and Not Much Else
Snorefest
I don't mind admitting that Jason Statham films are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine . They don't normally require a lot of thought process and are usually entertaining.
Chaos is one of his lesser known films that completely goes against that theory .
This is the story of two cops, a rookie and a grizzled vet, and their attempt at catching an accomplished bank robber.
This isn't one of those Jason Statham films where he kicks the shit out of everyone. I wish it was .
This is a bank heist caper that tries to be far to clever and just ends up being tedious and predictable.
I'm not a fan of Ryan Phillippe . He lacks any charisma and that personality vacuum is on full display in this film .
I don't mind Wesley Snipes but he's in this far too little . Perhaps he was busy filing his taxes ?
It's called chaos but it's actually quite the opposite. It's just boring and as I've always said , if you are going to make a film , making it boring is just unforgivable .
Zzzzzzzz
Better than you think (better than it starts out) crime drama is worth a bucket of popcorn
Jason Statham is brought back on to the police force to chase Wesley Snipes who stages a spectacular bank robbery. Paired with Ryan Phillipe things begin to get weird as they are forced to look for a pattern in the chaos that Snipes is causing.
Better than you think it will be action thriller. Don't let the by the numbers opening and early moments put you off. Once this gets going its a really good little thriller because it doesn't behave in the ways you expect it too. indeed there are a couple of twists that really surprised me. And of course the action scenes are very well done. I liked it a great deal. Worth some popcorn on the couch
