Based off of the bestselling series, the Knife of Never Letting Go written by Patrick Ness, Chaos Walking is set in a dystopian world where all men’s thoughts are presented in words, sounds, and images called “the Noise”. Todd, the main character, has grown up believing that the Spackle, a species that inhabited the planet before humans, released an infection that killed all of the women and gave the remaining men “the Noise”. He soon discovers an unusual area of silence, a girl being the source.  “The Noise is a man unfiltered, and without a filter, a man is just chaos walking,” said Ness.

Chaos Walking is an exceedingly engaging film and does not fail to keep a comical spirit. Even though critics rated the movie poorly due to missed opportunities from the books, Chaos Walking is still an amazingly well put together film with the cinematics and storyline. This movie also presents a controversial topic: the differences between men and women. The story shows how these differences can affect how the events of the film play out.

This film also presents a compelling set of actors including Tom Holland.
