Review of Hardcore Henry (2015) by Andre T — 22 Jun 2016

Wow, where do I begin? The beginning of it already got me hooked. Actually, I've been wanting to watch this movie for a long time and I knew that I was going to love it. The non-stop action is amazing.

Every direction, every turn, every corner, just awesome action. Hardcore Henry is a fast-paced, straight to the point, non-stop action movie and it's all done in first person. They filmed the movie with simply GoPro cameras with some spectacular special effects.

The protagonist has been portrayed by many actors/stuntmen and it's hard to believe because it looked like it was done by just one person. The almost realistic fire fights were damn good and the parkour has a nice touch to everything to make the movie intense.

The chase scenes are brilliant and well done while the sniping scene is what I've expected and it was also done well. The characters, although had enough development, there was one character that really shine out of all.

It was Sharlto Copley's character, Jimmy. You know him in District 9 and the ever well-known exclusive Playstation show, Powers. He does an awesome performance and I've read that he done an improvised scene which really made a good addition to the movie.

Jimmy and Henry does this Army of Two scene where they go all out, guns blazing and grenading. Which I thought is highlight out of all. If you like action movies, this is one that shouldn't be missed.

I think this is the most underrated yet awesome action movie to date and the plot isn't so bad at all. I hope to see a sequel to this movie that still attain the elements of this film. Heck, I like a trilogy out of this because I thought it was that good.

Sure the shaky camera was there but it wouldn't even make sense because it's filmed in first person and it is to be expected that there will be some shakiness going on. Hardcore Henry is a one to boot.

One to enjoy, especially those who love watching action movies. This one is nonstop and the soundtrack really plays a part into the movie. It gives you this adrenaline rush like you're the one who's in the movie instead.

This is another one to add into the collection of movies.
