Review of Hardcore Henry (2015) by Matias L — 12 Jul 2016
Thoroughly enjoyable movie. Addressing the two major beefs: If the POV is a "gimmick" it's a pretty effective one. 10 minutes in, you've completely forgotten it's POV and are enjoying the ride.
Story? It's a short story but a story nonetheless. If you missed it you weren't paying attention. Gov. engineered warrior wakes up with no memory. Sound familiar? Character dev.? C'mon, It's an action movie.
Lame flashbacks to past tragedies is what goes for char. dev. in most action films these days and I'm glad the makers decided to forego that bs. Sharlto played more characters than Bourne, Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious put together! This one puts those three in the shade.
