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,…
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.
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.

Hardcore Henry exists because it has a cool gimmick (and a music video that works as a proof of concept). Sharlto Copley adds some talent in front of the camera, as well. But neither of them together can carry off the whole runtime. Eventually, the movie becomes a bit tedious, though there are some fun moments.
Not recommended
This movies has:
1. A musical
2. Video game aesthetics
3. A Magnificent Seven reference
4. Gopniks
5. Kick ass sound track
6. Robots
7. Clones
8. Telekinesis
9. Headshots as good as Scanners
10. Tim Roth & Sharlto Copley
11. Morals on Friendship
12. Machete wielding punks
13. Escort missions (give or take)
14. Henry
All at the cost of feeling a little woozy afterwards
Worth it
EZ
Proof that you dont need a tight script, or compelling character development to make a film, all you need is buckets of blood, a great soundtrack, incredible stunt and camera work, and looooaaadddsss of fun.
