Description:
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.
Amazon.com:
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:  - What In The World
I Am A Big Fan Of Anne. I Have Seen All Of Her Movies. This Film Was Bad. A Bunch Of Rich White Teens Acting Like There A Gangster Rapper Living In The Hood Come On. There Are People Of All Types That Live In Those Places For Real And Not Faking It Like In The Movie. I Know Anne Wanted To Do Something Other Then Disney Kid Films. Her Role Was Crappy. She Can Do Better Then That. I Mean This Film Was Like At Wedding Where They Play A Rap Tune And The old White Lady's Try To Act Like It(Save It For "Scary Movie"). That's Not Funny Its Sad. I Like Rap And I Have Nothing Against It. But The monkey See Monkey Do Thing Good God. If Anne Or Her Friends Read this. Don't Take It The Wrong Way. Your A Great Actress And Any Role You Play Will Be Great. Just Please Don't Use Better Judgment Next Time. On The Plus Side You Do Have A Great Voice You Should Do Recorded An Album.
Rating: - Flimsy attempt to showcase rich townie wannabes
One day, probably through some seriously independent medium, someone's actually going to muster up the courage to properly showcase the wretched, filthy cancer that is the suburban, drug addicted, spoiled, insipid, wannabe gangster. UNFLINCHINGLY. It may take a while, but it will happen. This film is the quasi-portrait. Sugarcoated by today's pc culture because most cowards will still attempt to veil the fact that most inner-city drug sales come from suburbans. Most of the pan-handling/thieving drug addicted annoyances and prostitutes filthying up urban streets are actually out of control former suburban transplants who had to be hardcore and hang out in the city and buy and consume drugs. The people mildly and unrealistically portrayed in this film are the germ that starts this disease.
Bored suburban transplants aren't entirely the cause of the decline of urban living, but a lot of the horror and "scum" from the "CITY" that rich suburban parents warn their children about, and teach them to feel superior to are actually from their magical suburbs. This film could've told this story, but didn't.
I'm caucasian and lived in an urban setting my entire life and have witnessed this issue for way too long.
In summation, someone will tell this story in a raw and sincere fashion one day. This film does not.
Rating: - Anne please don't do this again.
Why? because your image is beautiful, classy, pure, important. You do not need to get involved with crap like this because you are much better than that. I love you but don't turn me off like this again. Do the hit woman or the fairy tales or romance just anything but the ghetto stuff.
Rating:  - Havoc-Anne Hathaway
Seems a bit out of character for Ms Hathaway, but shows her versatility as an actress, not to mention shes HOT. Looking forword to more of her in some more dramatic parts. Shes totally cool . .
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 plays wigger Alli(son), who hangs out with her equally phony friends and embrace the hardcore hip hop "thug" lifestyle because, as she put it, "we're teenagers and we're BORED." However, as a documentary-filming fellow high school student films the Life and Times of Whiteys Being Black (fake title), we get a little exposure to the "real" Allison, a straight-A student facing an identity crisis and wanting to live a "real, less-than-privledged" life. The same goes for her sister-like best friend Emily, played by Bijou Phillips. And just to note, considering that it's Anne Hathaway we're dealing with, Allison comes off as not-that-bad for a gangsta wanna-be. She can throw down in a fight, knows all the lyrics to Tupac's "How Do U Want It?", and all things considered, is pretty sexy as a white girl gangsta wannabe. At least more so than the real little teenage white girls trying to do the same thing and failing miserably.
