Hardcore Henry: Blu-ray Review
The Movie:
You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife who tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. If you can survive the insanity and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Strap in for a wild ride that critics are calling “a revolutionary movie experience”.
I remember watching the music video for Bad Motherfucker by Biting Elbows and I was blown away. The first thing that I thought was that it would make for a cool film idea. Sure enough, other people thought the same thing because now we have this film. I was pretty weary about it going into it because of the idea of possibly getting motion sickness but surprisingly it didn’t really affect me that much. There were a moment of two that caused me to look away and readjust my eyesight but that was it for the most part. The plot is so crazy and “out there” but it worked so damn good. The action was non-stop and it totally felt like I was watching a video game the entire time which made for a unique experience. The main thing that I was really impressed with was the way that they were able to get some of their shots. If you see the film then you’ll know what I mean. It’s definitely an extraordinary sight to see. If you’re into action films that just don’t let up then you’ll absolutely LOVE this movie. Think Crank but if it was a first person video game. 8/10
