Chaos Ratings & Reviews
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Mckay
its methodical pacing, non-linear narration, and twists within twists has its characters, (and the viewer), running around in circles without chasing its own tail.

Greg Muskewitz
This is easily a film that could be remade in Hollywood where the interest would be reassigned to playing to the viewer instead of with them.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
The film's elegant visuals and an electric performance from Miki Nakatani can't disguise the fact that is made up largely of recycled bits and pieces of other, better thrillers.
E! Online
Nakatani's femme fatale is one you'd cross streets to avoid, and director Nakata knows how to mount suspense and keep the fun twists coming.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Ultimately, the willful obfuscation becomes more frustrating than entertaining.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Nakata keeps the film's feet firmly grounded in the pulpy conventions of the erotic thriller without ever condescending to his audience or the material.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Hideo helms with such style and suspense that it doesn't matter if all our questions are ultimately answered.
New York Times
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.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Devotees of corpse-swapping betrayal orgies will find expert filmmaking awake to the realities of apprehension and unease.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Chaos is as compelling as it is confounding, and it's compelling in large part because of the confusion it stirs.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Nakata brilliantly uses interior and exterior light, and plants little visual cues -- like rain spattering on a flooded surface -- that tie the jumbled story bits together.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
It's a difficult film to follow and figure out (I've only seen it once), and yet there is something mesmerizing about the way director Nakata whips the tale to a frenzy and drags us in.
