Hardcore Henry

If first-person style shooting disorients you, this will be the WORST for it! I almost left 1/3 of the way through because they combined this with shots intended to inspire vertigo. But despite all of this, the movie was much ~smarter~ than I expected. By the end, I was applauding at the cleverness of it all. I don't know what it had to say beyond that, but it was solid and well-executed entertainment with acting that I loved.

If you worry about such pettiness as logic and purpose then Hardcore Henry, a video gamer's wet dream disguised as a movie, is not for you. There's no denying the visual wizardry of first-time feature director Ilya Naishuller. OK, his ultra-violent sci-fi extravaganza, shot on GoPro mobile cameras, doesn't add up to much. It's all about the ride, the relentless wallop and whoosh. But, hey, sometimes that's all a cine-junkie needs for a fix.

This is quite a unique piece of film... You either appreciate what it's trying to do or find it a shallow terrible mess of a movie... If you are a person who plays video games you will fall into the former. One things for sure it's more puts more effort into the action and spectacle than it's story

As it turns out, it's hard to have any semblance of a plot when your movie is in first-person POV and your protagonist doesn't speak.

Telekinetic Tommy Wiseau and his cyborg army are out to get you (Henry, that is), and it's kill or be killed. The cinematic equivalent of a rail shooter, and an admirable attempt at something different, but a little too frenetic to be enjoyable. It isn't bad as such; I'm just not sure that it works. Like watching a friend blast away on a new game while you sit waiting, you know it's going to be more fun once you get your turn - but this time your turn isn't coming.

dark fps humor, nice action, even a kind of interesting story
