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,…
Some see this as an insult to cinema, some see this as a clever merging of mediums. For me though, it's totally legit. If you hate the gimmick already the movie does nothing to change your mind, in fact it will only reinforce your opinion. Hardcore Henry is a literal adrenaline injection, it's hilarious, dizzying, and fun as hell, does first person pew pew pews better than a video game ever could. The camera movement is all over the place but the magical thing is: you can always tell what's going on. The musical cues are flawlessly on point and Sharlto Copley is a tremendous joy to watch, both adds a new layer of entertainment onto this splatterfest.
It's a big, messy pile of trash that I wholeheartedly approve.
I heard this was bad. It's like playing a video game only you're not in control. Some douchebag is!!!
As it stands, I'm probably making it sound way more exciting than it actually is.
When Down By The Water by the Drums came on, I was so surprised I nearly collapsed, ahah. This was exactly what I needed tonight. So ridiculous.

Half of a star. This is a lonely, precious little half of a star. Where did all of its friends go?? Why is it only half?? Hardcore Henry shot them in their little star heads!!!
This star is for only two things, one of them being just a simple joke and that was when three people are speaking a foreign language, and they do something funny with the subtitles. It's also for these filmmakers actually going out there and making this. Even though I kind of truly despised most of the aspects of this film, I have to give these people credit for actually following through with this idea, molding this concept and making an entire feature from this point of view. Does that make this film innovative? A bit. You know who else was innovative? Stalin.
