Headache-inducing Henry

somebody please strand me on Mars.

The experimental gimmick of Hardcore Henry is worth the watch. Shot from the first-person perspective, the film quickly pulls you in on the action. The entire experience feels like watching someone play a first-person shooter video game... and you enjoy the hell out of it. Despite having a predictable plot, dull characters, and nauseating camerawork (I had to pause the film at one point because I felt dizzy), I still had fun.

an hour and a half of fast-forward kill clips filmed by a go pro. easier to call this a headache than a film, the best I can say about this is that it’s a gutsy experiment. of course, stuffing ur head in a blender would be pretty gutsy too - though not much of a movie night. I know what it feels like to have eyes (I have 2!) and this ain't it.

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.

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.

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.

Needs more Chappie

The film is literally a mindless action filled, gloriously violent, and most importantly it was fun. It isn't a good movie, but it is visually intense and horrifically violent.

You're an idiot if you don't like this. First-person view is a cheap shortcut to immersion, but it works nonetheless. Since I'm actually Hardcore Henry now, I'll kick your ass if you rate this less than three stars.

This would have better reviews if its target audience didn't already play too many videogames and compared it to videogames they've played. Send it back in time 30 years along with any action movie of your choosing and 100% of people would say this is better.

One time watch for me.

this movie tried to be cool and smart and thrilling but it was like a college senior project.

This is a video game pretending to be a movie. Very cool and original.

This movie shouldn’t be as good as it is. At first when I first looked at the poster I thought it was like some laughably bad, unoriginal action flick you would find in your local dollar tree but boy was I wrong..

I felt like i was seeing someone playing call of duty

Honestly didn’t think I would love this film as much as I do. It earns the right to use a queen song.
I thought the way it’s shot was very cool and well done, and the action and fight scenes are great. What more do u want from this film.

rly did not like this

It's a jolly good spectacle, but this first-person action mess neglects the most basic of storytelling building blocks. The scenes are basically just a context-free series of obsessively morbid barbarism, like a fever dream of tasteless, uncinematic burlesque.

Hardcore Henry is a pretty unique action movie. Don't go into this expecting something other than a fun action flick.

Man, I'd love it if there was a game based on this.

Also am I the only one that thought of Caddicarus whenever Jimmy was on screen?
