Review of Cold Pursuit (2019) by Duncanisabot — 30 Aug 2016
Hardcore Henry is a film from early this year, It was a crowdfunded film based around the idea of it being completely in first person and I watched it and here are my thoughts.
The Good:
+ It was a fun movie, It was a film that wasn't scared to not take itself too seriously, which I feel was a good idea for this movie.
+It used some of it's more out there elements to it's advantages creating some cool fights and scenes.
+One of the films final fight scenes uses Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, that deserves points.
+Jimmy was pretty cool, and the whole idea of him controlling clones of himself created some cool characters (Like the army guy).
+Especially in the end of the film, The action was top notch, The stunts were crazy at points and being the films main focal point, it works well.
The Bad:
- The first quarter of the film is kind of slow, and while it does pick up, if I do decide to watch it again it will be a bit annoying.
-Some of the acting wasn't very good, specifically the main villain, I couldn't help but laugh whenever he spoke and it didn't seem like that was the joke.
-While it could have been worse, the shakiness of the camera got annoying sometimes and kind of took away from some of the action scenes because it would be confusing as to what was going on.
While it does have it's faults, Hardcore Henry was a pretty good movie, and while it's not the best action movie by a long shot, it does have some pretty awesome stuff in it.
