This film is the first to be shown in a first person, and it really helped to put yourself in henry place. Some motion were to quick, and did make me feel sick, but for an action film it does that. This movie is great if you just want to see gore, action, and comedy. I would recommend this movie, but their is a feeling that this would be a great game, I can imagine myself playing this. In the end it is still and enjoyable film.
... View More'Hardcore Henry (2016)' is an interesting experiment, an action film told entirely from the first-person perspective. At times, it provides a unique kind of entertainment you won't find pretty much anywhere else. It's admirable what the team behind the picture were able to achieve with their limited budget and camera restrictions. Some of the already elaborate stunt work is made even more impressive when you realise that the performer(s) for the eponymous 'Henry' couldn't wear a safety wire due to the 360 degree view required for the camera to seamlessly navigate through the sequences. The video-game feel - which is bolstered by several clichés, such as a silent protagonist and 'tutorial' moments -can lead to some frustration as it just seems like you're watching someone else play when you'd rather take the controls yourself. The outlandish plot and mile-a-minute pacing, along with the constrained camera-view, do get tiresome quickly, too. As such, this as an interesting movie worth a watch once for its surface value, but not much more. Plus, it is likely to cause some motion-sickness if that's something you suffer from, and maybe even if its something you don't. 6/10
... View MoreHardcore Henry (2015 movie) is totally different genre of cinema as first person view. There is no need for actor for this type of script. Camera man or Director is main actor of this flick. If you have ever played Counter-Strike (video game) then this movie look like extended version of Counter Strike e.g. Gun, Pistol, Riffle, Knife and bomb. Camera work is totally different and some time, it required fresh mind audience otherwise headache for sure.Script may be more robust as this is science fiction genre. Although i would appreciate writer and director Ilya Naishuller for taking so much risk and experiment. One person has impressed audience with his performance: Sharlto Copley as Jimmy. Danila Kozlovsky as Akan did justice with his role of villain. overall this movie is one time watch.Note: I had headache after watching this on my system.
... View MoreOh 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.
