Je herinnert je niks. Misschien vooral omdat je net door je vrouw bent teruggebracht uit het land der doden. Ze zegt je dat je naam Henry is. Eén groot verschil: je bent nu een cyborg. Amper vijf minuten later word je onder vuur genomen en zie je hoe je vrouw gekidnapt wordt. Om haar te bevrijden moet je de strijd aangaan met Akan, de leider van een meedogenloos leger huurlingen, die de ultieme macht wilt grijpen. Bovendien bevind je je in Moskou, een stad waar je niemand kent en iedereen het op jou gemunt lijkt te hebben. Iedereen, behalve de mysterieuze Jimmy. Veel geluk Henry; het ziet er naar uit dat je het nodig zult hebben. (The Searchers)

Recensie (13)
The ultimate bachelor party with a lot of thoughtful details, Hardcore Henry is violent, bloody, witty, furious and visually stunning. It is an important genre event (somebody finally got it right!) and I believe that someone in the future will put this concept on a more complex story and thus make a breathtaking point. Then I will be the happiest man alive.

Hardcore Henry, or how to use a shaky camera to create a stylish piece from the first person point of view, which draws you in and most importantly, and I feel obliged to say this, you see everything clearly, transparently and without any difficulties. Add in the fact that they did not bother at all with any age restrictions, which makes it a clear R rated film. The only thing that is missing to make this film perfect are some cool lines, as Henry during the whole film does not speak at all. Luckily, the acting is saved by Sharlto Copley, who has multiple roles here and moves between them in the blink of an eye.

In terms of innovation of the action genre, it’s only an appetiser, because Hardcore Henry is far from a full-fledged cinematic experience. There’s no plot and the frantic sequence of action scenes can’t disguise the feeling that this farce is merely a consumer piece with a short shelf-life. Original, technically very accomplished, but also exhausting almost to the max. And this time there was no need for a second or third part, 90 minutes of the first one was enough.

The pure fire of an avid fan of decadence who pursues the ultimate physical experience with the vigor of a Soviet bulldozer. The creative stubbornness is admirable, but dramaturgically it's pretty bad because, around the 60th minute, it starts to chafe. The frantic ending, however, lifts up the video game concept (literally) into high gear (arcade jumps included) and revs into the red. It’s a progressive genre detour, but unfortunately into a dead end.

A mainline adrenaline hit straight to a player’s heart. Memories of Far Cry, GTA, Crysis and other games and others come rushing at you with every minute of the movie. Sharlto Copley’s and his amazing antics drag this movie forward, but the real hero is Naishuller, who pieced the movie together. Great music. A feelgood movie.
