What happens when you give Tommy Wiseau both the superpowers of Magneto and the haircut of Karl in Die Hard? You have the supervillain in this 100% first-person parkour spectacular that made me want to buy a secondhand GoPro and start my own extreme bridge-climbing YouTube channel. Something tells me half the budget was used bribing Russian official to let the filmmakers do whatever the fuck they wanted in literally every other scene. Mission accomplished.

I'm going to give this a lot of extra points for effort. It's impressively done, pretty seamless and convincing. The story really doesn't work but what do you expect. It has some memorable sequences. That said, it was extremely tiring to watch and I didn't really enjoy it too much overall; Could have maybe been fantastic with a better plot and something to balance out the endless action. Danila Kozlovsky does a fair impersonation of Tommy Wiseau playing a villain.

Dumb FPS: The Movie, nothing more and nothing less. And while it is an empty, silly and childish piece of nonsense, it's at the same time really good at what it sets out to do. Which is making you go "JA JONGEH??" (or your own non-Dutch equivalent) and cackling madly as some crazy violent bullshit thing happens. Best watched in non-sober company.

'Hardcore Henry' is structured like a modern AAA shooter: the protagonist follows a line from point A to B, procuring a new MacGuffin and shooting through a wave of faceless mooks in a new environment right before a brief cutscene of exposition. Rinse and repeat. Some of these sequences (or levels) are exciting, some of them aren't, and it culminates with an anticlimactic boss battle at the end. It gets points for ambition, but loses some for inducing nausea.

Obviously video games and movies like Crank are the big reference points here, and that's true: HH is a bare-bones FPS with a thin story and little reason to care about the characters, yet, the action is mostly inventive with the gimmick working well most of the time. Occasionally it's really disorienting and stifles the flames of violence, and it feels a little long, but up until it becomes a bit of a drag around the third act, it's a hell of a lot of fun. Doesn't reach 'great' status though.

A cold opening quickly became what I found to be quite an entertaining movie. Critics were split on this and I can see why. Has it's flaws, but nearly every action does. Nonetheless, Hardcore Henry uses the best of it's title and throws out a lot of decent thrills and bloody violence. Story is pretty nonexistent but that may have been the intention. I liked the 96 minute romp regardless. Worth watching if you want to have yourself a good, good time.

A cyborg super soldier tries to rescue his wife from some kind of telekinetic Russian overlord. More of an experimental tech demo than an actual film, it's a bloody, non-stop 90 minute first person action sequence. While it's technically impressive, the novelty wears off quickly and it becomes exhausting to watch. The constant shaking jerky camera movements and pounding music gave me a ruthless headache. Probably the best thing about this was seeing Sharlto Copley dying dozens of times.

It's true that the advent of cheap, small, high-res cameras (à la GoPros) have made first person films less impressive. What sets this apart is the decent humour, Copley's entertaining portrayal of different characters, and the awesome-cool!™ stuntwork and violence.

It is what it claimed to be, an over the top point of view actioner. The scenes all flow together at a frenetic pace with a few little pauses. The action is great and Copley is a great fit for the role. Some of the humour is sick and twisted which had me belly laughing (throwing a stripper in a fight). The only drawback is the POV gets to be a bit too much.

Old concept but different media, this movie brings the world of FPS from videogames to the cinema even with explicit references to some. But while this concept is interesting, it also lacks substance because everything in the film: characters, sound, music, plot, even the acting is made in compliancy of the shot. This is a huge issue for people that wants something to bring with them, there is nothing other than pure and straight fun in this movie, you watch it you say "cool" and that's it.

HARDCORE HENRY is a noble experiment in action schlock, displaying dizzying levels of commitment to its unique GoPro photography and some bullshit about cyborg super-soldiers. It struggles to sustain its harried energy for longer than a brief action sequence, but frequent pop-ins from a white-haired telekinetic villain and a shape-shifting Sharlto Copley help keep the madcap momentum going. Praise be to lax Russian film safety laws.

Accomplishes the not so easy task of being both incredibly fun and incredibly stupid at the same time. So while the movie will most likely gain a following among scruffy-haired pubescent boys who have just discovered the opposite sex, it's all done in good fun, with a surprising amount of panache and deceptive simplicity that belies its inventive and technical complexity. Rock on!

Hardcore Henry is essentially a live-action video game. The first person point of view is gimmicky, but the plot works with it, to mixed results. The plot embraces sci-fi and action tropes delivering an energetic ride with elements that feel familiar. Copley brings some much needed levity and Kozlovsky makes a great campy villain. The action itself is mediocre and there are plot holes galore, but there are fun moments to be had, provided you can handle the ridiculous, senseless death toll.

An unashamedly violent action romp in the style of a first person shooter game. The story? I think it serves its purpose well, getting Henry to each new action scene in a timely manner. And Sharlto Copley shows his diversity, with a comedic touch. Would watch this game being played again.

It would be easy for me to just compare this to a video game, so that's what my lazy ass is going to do. It's shot in first person, the opening scene feels like the getting to know the controls level, there is humor that mostly doesn't work, the action takes only brief respites for story, there is an escort mission, and it basically appeals mostly to teenage boys. It sounds like I'm shitting on it, and I kinda am. It's OK and has some cool moments but I hope 1st POV doesn't become a thing.

What an uncompromisingly masculine, adrenaline-pumping ride! This movie is a madman frothing at the mouth with talent. And this madman actually wears some solid SF vestiges of a plot. Shame the actual proportions of rabid violence vs clever plot weren't more on the plot's side, but I still buy it. Also two things. First, barring this flick and a few others, Sharlto Copley is such a criminally underused genius. Second people who like John fucking Wick are nothing but clueless pussies.

If you film a movie that relies on a gimmick, you'd better be sure you do it well. "Hardcore Henry" blows it out of the water, it's the first time that a first-person shot movie expertly integrates the style with film-making. You're still walking into a action movie, one with a pretty video game-y story, so if that's not you're thing, take a pass. But this one was balls-to-the-wall fun, and I hardly even need to mention that Sharto Copely was the best part of it.

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.

The best way to see this is in an empty theater with a friend. That's how I got to see it, and it had us cheering up until the end. The first half suffers a little because it looks like it's turning into an endless series of on-foot chase sequences, but the action and the humor pick way up in the second half.

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.

With action films today devolving into CGI video game cut scenes it's ironically refreshing to have a movie that's finally as fun as a video game can be. This is gritty knock 'em sock 'em action that sticks more to the down to earth stunt work than polygons ballet dancing. Fun. Funny. All it really needs to be. The finale is a bit of a let down, as Akan turns out to be not much of an "end boss," but then most final bosses are a let down. Plus any movie a theater gives a WARNING to is a must see.

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.

I was expecting Hardcore Henry's First Person POV Gimmick to outstay its welcome, but it really made the whole experience insanely entertaining. The stunt work is cool and the movie really felt like you were playing a Video Game. Great music also fits well with the action. The story isn't the most amazing thing in the world, there's a lot of contrivances and the acting is a bit wonky. Still, this is a very unique experience and more of a rollercoaster ride than a proper narrative film.

This feels like a first person shooter game, and not just in the obvious POV but also in the way the plot unfolds piece by piece. The POV action is well directed and very entertaining, which is a huge plus for this movie. But as a whole the movie falls flat, the gimmick makes it near impossible to connect with the protagonist. The unnecessary overcomplicated plot doesn't help with this either. Copley is clearly having a field day with the multiple characters he's allowed to improv.

While I can't deny there are some cool moments in the movie, as well as Sharlto Copley's fun in his role definitely being infectious, this movie is really bad. The writing is bad, the acting is worse, and the entire concept of it all —that this is a movie pretending to be a video game— ultimately becomes so exhausting that I couldn't care by the end, and it was not helped by going so over the top it fell off the ledge. Interesting experiment; now don't do that again.

Frequently compared to a video game, and it's not an unfair comparison, since this mimics them in many regards - such as the long boring intro before you can have fun, and then how it eventually gets too repetitive to be interesting anymore. Parkour is also a lot better when not viewed from shaky first-person perspective. Now I'm being harsh, but there's still some unique and innovative thrills to be had here. Sharlto Copley's role(s) are easily the best part as he flexes his acting skills.

I have two ratings for this movie. The first rating is for how much I enjoyed this movie, for that I'd give it an 80. The second lower rating is for the fact that this doesn't hold any rewatch value for me, unless I watch it with someone who hasn't seen it yet, so that rating would be a 60. As I was so undecided on which rating to give I split the difference.

Divisive. A movie that might gain a strong cult-following for its stylish brand of ultra gory, fast paced action (and indeed cool stunts and set-pieces). Not a big fan of the video-game metaphor being used here though, since it lacks the nurturing elemet of the medium: agency. This is more akin to watching a 1:30h Lets Play, and thus equally tiring.

What it lacks in plot, it makes up in access to Russian ordnance, and there's not a huge amount of plot. Coming from the two music videos made by these guys, you get what you expect, sans the song and dance put on by Copley. They say video games are heading towards a cinematic experience, well this is the inverse, I wonder what it would be like watching through a VR headset.

Pretty tough to endure at first, but after a while I got used to the POV. That said, this was absolutely horrible. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. *Bad

The problem is it's impossible to forget that it is a movie. It is occasionally effective in putting you in the moment, but that's not the same thing as engaging with a story or character. There are a couple of okay ideas in there, but mostly it's just a bunch of clichés and contrivances. The acting is pretty bad, except for Copley who is straight-up amazing. It has some impressive stunt work, but always feels like it was made my 12-year-old boys, with all the guns and 'hot chicks'.

I had a little hope in this I have to admit, but it's just like watching someone else play a fucking videogame. I got annoyed before I could get attached. And different doesn't necessarily mean good. Case closed.

After holding down my gorge during the thrashing and flailing visuals, and making the effort of piecing together some sci-fi story threads that flash by amidst bashed-in skulls, raw dialogue and bared breasts, the best I can say about Hardcore Henry is that it's a ... gutsy experiment.

About as entertaining as watching your friend play Call of Duty Black Ops II. It might've actually been moderately good if it wasn't for the most annoying editing to ever exist in film.

The plot has something to do with a cybernetically enhanced super-soldier trying to rescue his wife from the villain who bankrolled his enhancements, but between the terrible writing, low-quality cinematography, and murky sound, you're likely to be completely lost. The lack of a main character or a coherent story diminishes one's excitement, and the sexism, homophobia, and nausea-inducing POV camerawork obliterates it. Sharlto Copley, as Henry's mysterious guide, is the one bright spot.

A movie shot from the first-person perspective might someday work, but today is not that day, and Hardcore Henry is not that success. Watching this movie is like watching a friend play a second-tier FPS video game. It lacks in plot and characters, and the execution of its gimmick - far too many cuts and nauseating cinematography - did not do it any favors. Some of the action is fine, but it mostly feels like it's just checking off boxes it hopes gamers will recognize.
