Hardcore Henry (2016)

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I was skeptical about "Hardcore Henry" when I realised it was a movie shot entirely from its titular character's perspective. Surely that would get old, I thought - as the same trick did with "Maniac".I was wrong. "Hardcore Henry" is an amazing feat of filmmaking wizardry. No one will put it up there with "Russian Ark", and perhaps that's not fair. I can imagine a lot of unflattering comparisons between it and video games instead, mainly from snootier film critics. I didn't mind the comparison. "Hardcore Henry" is kept afloat by its endless invention, extraordinary action set-pieces and tour-de-force performance from Sharlto Copley. It has a bodycount in the hundreds, and some scenes of violence that defy description.It's a true cult classic.

This was like watching a teenager play on a playstation,for one and a half hours

Here's the gimmick, this film is shot purely in first person view and it never breaks from it throughout. It's also an action movie so lots of shooting and crazy death moves. That's it really, you could quite easily just watch fifteen minutes of this, go "ah, clever, nice idea" and you are done. Nothing else to really keep you there.Its shot very much like a computer game, so its like watching someone else playing or watching one of those dreary walk throughs on YouTube of a computer game that you don't really like.To keep the computer game facade it's complete with fast panning, chase scenes (both in the car and on foot), quietly listening to guys on the other sides of walls and fighting 'bosses' at different stages. Like the flamethrower boss, the mansion boss or the head honcho guy who has some crazy mind moving powers.As a gamer sometimes when you play a game you think it could be film. But this film proves that yeah it could be film, but it couldn't fill ninety minutes. Twenty minutes at a push.

Oh dear, and where should I even start on commenting on this one? What can I day? THere are no sane words to describe this awful, horrid, shameful pile of steaming feces. There is such a thing as a negative suffix -less in English. So, this Timur Bekmanbetov's piece of garbage deserves to collect all the possible adjectives - brainless, thoughtless, mindless, shameless, faceless, headless, soulless, everything-less. Seriously, all you have is a first-person sick dizzy shooter, absolutely Horrible performance of all actors, mindless brutality, idiotic dialogues, horrid script (technically, a total lack thereof), tepid dug of a moral and a shockingly poor effort to be on the level with the Western standards. My word of warn - never ever watch this bizarre, fetid pile of dubious junk. In a word - Worst. In two - Rating - Zero, of all points. In several - never even think to try and waste time watching it.
