Entertainment Reviews:
The picture holds us, not only through our wonderment at the mixture but through Serreau's dexterity and her casting.
The New Republic
Sort of a Hansel and Gretel outing with machetes and chainsaws substituting for the mythic oven.

Despite some odd pacing and a longish, off-putting flashback, Chaos succeeds more than it fails.
Arizona Republic
Rating: B --
Energetic, darkly funny and engaging from beginning to end.

Most of the film is devoted to the central character, and thanks to Frot, she's a most likable heroine.

Nakata scrambles the chronology....He gives the proceedings a genuine sense of dread.

Product Description:
After the success of RING and RING 2, director Hideo Nakata decided to take a break from the horror genre to make this thriller. CHAOS begins as a couple--Takayuki (Ken Mitsuishi) and Satomi (Miki Nakatani)--go out for lunch. Afterwards, Satomi disappears, and it is not long before Takayuki, a businessman, begins receiving strange ransom demands. As the relationship between Satomi and her captor, Goro (Masato Hagiwara), is revealed, the film begins to unfold a labyrinthine plot where nothing is as it appears.
Although CHAOS opens with what seems to be a standard thriller plot, Nakata and screenwriter Hisashi Saito have created a unique movie that blends genres while invoking a number of classic films, including Akira Kurosawa's HIGH & LOW and Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO. Placed out of sequence, the pieces of Nakata's puzzle are arranged so that the audience is consistently off balance. In the process, the director creates a thoroughly engaging neo-noir suspense film that's sure to keep viewers guessing up until the very end.
