Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

The narrative is fractured, David Lynch-style. Everything eventually makes sense -- sort of. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

Naturally, the worm turns again and again in this demi-Hitchcockian death trap, and Nakata knows how to shoot scenes of breath-holding paranoia: from a distance, simply, in real time. (We'll see how the inevitable remake, directed by Jonathan Glazer, measures up.) Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

With his sure handling of this thriller's switchback plot and hairpin turns, Hideo Nakata confirms his mastery of genre material in the wake of his phenomenally successful "Ring." Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

It's not giving too much away to note that we've seen a lot of this before, in classic noir and postnoir films, though to name those films would spoil things. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The film's mechanical workings are still impressive, but between the unsympathetic characters and the coldly precise direction, there is little here for an audience to clutch to its heart. Read full review

Keith Phipps

In the end, Chaos is as compelling as it is confounding, and it's compelling in large part because of the confusion it stirs. Read full review
