Review of Hardcore Henry (2015) by Dragonsfoe . — 17 Aug 2016
Missing the hardness and the emotional core.
Hardcore Henry is a hard movie to get through. This is mostly due to the way that it is filmed. It is shaky,dizzying and confusing, with cinematography hard to follow. This is followed a by the numbers story, flat characters, with elements that are not very easy to understand.
Hardcore Henry has great fight choreography, with some action sequences being very entertaining, complimenting the first person view. Shartlo Copley is also a redeeming factor in the film, having fun with all of the Jimmy's he has in store.
The film ends up being tedious and exhausting. The first person gimmick is often dizzying and hard to handle for 90 minutes. The story is not very entertaining either, making the film feel like a YouTube short gone too long.
Rating: 6.3 (C-).
