Review of Hardcore Henry (2015) by Gena F — 09 Apr 2016
The epitome of "shut your brain off" entertainment. It is not the place to go if you want a full and complete story. Some of the final plot twists are obvious and tropey enough even for those who haven't seen more than the trailer to guess.
Other points (like what made Akan a supervillian complete with powers in an otherwise powerless world) are left unanswered. But, then, I doubt anyone came to this movie for the plot. The action is good, if sometimes confusing.
The splashes of humor are welcome and, quite honestly, saved the movie for me. Especially Jimmy(s). The gimmick was fun, if wearing thin at places. Personally feel like the story could have been told just as well traditionally, but it didn't suffer for the novelty either.
Overall, not earth shaking wonderful, but a good brainless way to spend 90 minutes.
