"Hardcore Henry" seems to be a movie only made for me since I'm probably the only user on this site who will actually admit they had the time of their lives with this.

This is a movie right up my alley. It's trashy. It's insane. It's bloody. It makes very little sense a good amount of the time. And you know what? I had one stupid goofy smile on my face from begining to end. It remind me a lot of "Crank" in that they're both seeming self aware of what they are and who's watching it.

Not in the way something like "Deadpool" is quote unquote "Self Aware", in that they think they're smarter than they actually are. It's…

74/100

A desecration of everything and anything deemed tolerable, appropriate, or inherently cinematic; Hardcore Henry seems to have been created through the manipulation of a gaming controller rather than through the movement of actors and spaces, direction and cinematography, writing and editing. The audience's protagonist is unable to speak (which makes for some great physical comedy), its main "plot" revolves around a checklist of objectives, and the violence is without consequence - it's like an arcade game with one of those toy guns as a controller - until it's necessary for the "plot" to continue barreling towards another action setpiece.

But this is what Hardcore Henry wants to be. It isn't in love with itself. It IS itself. No pretension,…

"A grenade a day keeps the enemies at bay."

Oh, man. My five day absence from Letterboxd was pretty brutal. I must say, despite it not being that long, it definitely felt it since beforehand I was on here basically every day. I truly missed this site and it's great inhabitants. I began a new night-shift job and it has really messed with my entire schedule I was so accustomed to, including all the films I was able to watch before working an actual full-time job. But enough about me. Onto the movie at hand.

So, now that I'm done with my self-indulgent introduction alluding to why this may have worked for me more than it may have otherwise, Hardcore…

Cammina sul filo sottile che separa la figata dal pasticcio. Perché quella che è la sua particolarità e che avrebbe voluto/dovuto essere il suo punto di forza finisce per esserne il limite più grande. La visuale in soggettiva stanca presto, disturba, confonde, non permette di godere pienamente di tutta una serie di trovate. Ed è un peccato, perché il film è pieno di azione, stunt, sparatorie, inseguimenti e morti ammazzati male, con sequenze fuori di testa tipo l'inseguimento in autostrada; c'è gente che si è impegnata tanto per realizzare quella roba e che avrebbe meritato di vederla valorizzata in maniera adeguata e non castigata dal POV. Insomma, il videogame è divertente se a giocare sei tu. Sharlto Copley mattatore in…

Proceed with caution, then press start.

Here’s something you might want to ask. Have you ever wanted to know what it was like to live for a day in the life of a violence-obsessed Russian robot who is really good at parkour? Or, how this film made a $3-million dollar budget? Well, then if director's Ilya Naishuller's quick 97-minute movie is for you! "Hardcore Henry" was famously shot entirely with GoPro cameras, which, depending on your feelings about low-quality, wide-angle cameras, was a very ambitious decision.

The thing was this, the R-rated experience isn't interactive. As it seems, the only character with any substance, Sharlto Copley is fantastic in his many supporting roles; playing a crippled scientist as well as…
