Hardcore Henry is one of the most fun movies of the year. Every minute was action packed and every fight scene was violence for the sake of violence and ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous. You only know as much as the main characterHardcore Henry is one of the most fun movies of the year. Every minute was action packed and every fight scene was violence for the sake of violence and ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous. You only know as much as the main character knows ,so you get kind of a sense of how disoriented the main character is. The first person point of view was immersive and made you feel on edge the whole movie. This movie would be perfect If you watched it through a Virtual Reality(VR) headset like an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. I think being a gamer a lot of the appreciation had for the movie was seeing it was like playing a First Person Shooter(FPS) and feeling as if that what I was doing. In the movie I didn't feel like Henry the main character was the bad-ass I thought I was the bad-ass the whole movie ,and this is a feeling that no movie has ever given me. If you are a gamer or someone who wants a unique experience to feel like the protagonist in a movie then Hardcore Henry is the movie for you.

I'm really tired of the old boring ''Hollywood'' action movie where the protagonist is a ''common man'' that has to fight without ''breaking the rules'' of society: Hardcore Henry gives back the weapons needed to the good guy aka the Protagonist!
Can't wait to see something similar done to great vg like Max Payne, would be a dream coming true.
Go see it !… Expand

Ждал это кино уже 2 с половиной года и оно мне очень понравилось. Единственный минус, после столь офигенного экшена голова приболела, правда это ненадолго и все равно оно того стоило. Вы смотрите этот фильм как будто прохождение игровогоЖдал это кино уже 2 с половиной года и оно мне очень понравилось. Единственный минус, после столь офигенного экшена голова приболела, правда это ненадолго и все равно оно того стоило. Вы смотрите этот фильм как будто прохождение игрового шутера для VR на youtube. С youtube у фильма и появилась такая креативная идея когда молодой музыкант из группы Biting Elbows выложил клип на песню Bad **** тоже снятой на GoPro от 1-го лица.

Сюжет начинается что вас приводит в сознание симпатичная докторша Эстель и почти сразу на лабораторию нападает злодей Акан. Вам приходится убегать, точнее как в Bioshock Infinite экстремально спускаться на капсуле к земле. Потому что вся лаборатория это дирижабль прямо над облаками. Вообще огромное количество культурных отсылок нашего времени к играм и фильмам тут предостаточно, потому как режиссер такой же геймер как и мы, то есть целевая аудитория. Вы уведите постер и Half-life, и даже новинки Superhot. А местом действия на этот раз послужила Москва и хоть я из РФ, но в этом городе все равно не был. Для иностранцев этот сеттинг воспринимается как для нас ваши Голливудские фильмы с местом действия Лос Анджелес или Нью Йорк. Конечно же главная звезда ленты это южно-африканский актер Шарлто Копли, почти весь юмор держится на нем. У него тут несколько альтер-эго и по мере сюжета их будут убивать ради комического эффекта. Но вот почему они все клоны в разной одежде, это вы узнаете в кино.

Также тут экшен действительно ничем не хуже от шпионской франшизы про Джейсона Борна. Только при рейтинге R создатели позволили кучу мата ("запиканного" в прокатной версии), кровь и мясо с самыми изощренными убийствами и голые сиськи. По сюжету фильма длиною 1,5 часа все события проходят за один день. И конечно же я слукавлю если скажу что тут нет сюжетных дыр, конечно как и в любом фильме они тут есть. Только вот сам фильм интересно смотреть поэтому на них не обращаешь внимания, да и вообще это работа для Cinema Sins (классные ребята). Также присутствуют пара сюжетных поворотов, но это спойлеры так что тссс! А женщинам страдающим феминизмом фильм лучше не смотреть, хотя можете купить потом диск и все равно не смотреть, из-за своих тупых убеждений. В остальном же вы и так прекрасно по трейлеру могли судить стоит ли вам смотреть, к счастью в отличие от Дэдпула тут не слили весь фильм в рекламной кампании.

Теперь к злодею Акану! Его играет российский актер Данила Козловский и к слову этот год для него как бенефис (уж столько фильмов с его участием). По характеру я бы сравнил его с Ваасом или с Пэйганом Мином из Far Cry, но до Джокера (Хит Леджер) естественно не дотягивает. Является главной головной болью Генри то бишь Вас. Только в самом фильме о нем практически ничего не известно, но для этого выпустили комиксы которые вы можете поискать в сети (конкретно в группе вконтакте посвященной фильму). В них вот кое-что интересное (не всё) рассказывается об этом злодее. А последняя локация фильма то бишь битва с боссом вообще напоминает конец игры Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. И там можно лицезреть самые плохенькие спецэффекты за весь фильм, но при столь малом бюджете это нормально.

Под резюмируя хотелось бы поблагодарить режиссера дебютанта Илью Найшуллера, продюсера Тимура Бекмамбетова что поверил в такую креативную идею, а также тех кто выделил деньги на такое кино. А это в размере 2 000 000 $ что для рос. кино уже не совсем-то и деньги. Конкретно на этот фильм собирали при помощи краундфандинга IndiGogo, ну и Минестерство культуры РФ тоже выдало деньги. Вот только минкульт (Фонд кино) почему-то вырезал сцены где полицейские домогались до женщины, якобы это порочит честь полиции. И это после того как в "Самом лучшем дне" пьяный гаишник сношает пьяную певицу. "Не-не-не, это нормально, это же караоке-комедия, тут и должно быть так чтобы было смешно!"-- ответил тот кто распоряжается монтажом фильмов для цензуры. Еще в этой ленте представлено небольшое камэо youtube видеоблогера BadComedian, когда увидел его то заорал во весь голос.

В общем для российского синематографа это кино просто "10 из 10, о Господи, 10 из 10"! В то время как на мировой арене я бы оценил на 7-8 баллов. Но поскольку это первый полнометражный опыт в экшене полностью от первого лица, то вам решать надо это или нет.… Expand

Director Ilya Naishuller turns a seemingly gimmicky premise into a raw, addictive stylistic necessity, while co-star Sharlto Copley uses his supreme comedic abilities to elevate the movie into cinematic greatness.

Sure it does get a bit repetitive but this is only the first movie of it's type and nothing is perfect at first, especially on a small budget and limited perspective like that. Hopefully it'll pave the way for a whole new realm of entertainment if incorporated with 4D entertainment. The film has heart and I won't fault it for that.

The most impressive aspect of Hardcore is the pacing and how the actors, the director/screenwriter go about to deliver it swiftly, edited to perfection and performed brilliantly. Henry is immensely humanized, considering the fact that his face is obstructed throughout the whole film and is mute, yet through mannerisms and motions, writer/director Ilya Naishuller gives Henry a unique and often times funnily badass personality one that is sympathetic for the audience to root for and play as. Meanwhile Sharlto Copley, brilliantly jumps from various, engaging and weirdly fascinating characters, it’s definitely hard to pull of so many different characters and retain significance and constantly come up with witty performance tricks that get either get the audience’s blood pumping or get their interests peeking. Danila Kozlovsky plays an exceptional villain, one that is perverted, hyper-stylized, yet gets to pull one or two of his own great gags that evoke a feeling of fear and comedy. Whilst Haley Bennett is charming and convincing as the wife of Henry, wanting his safety and security, and hiding secrets under the façade of love and compassion. The story is great too, it is strange, exciting and un-logical in the best possible way, drawing inspirations from various video-games and providing them with a new perspective.

However it’s the action in Hardcore Henry that is the most important, full of adrenaline, kinetic energy and meaty violence, Naishuller makes even the shakiest of images stable and clear using long takes of sweeping carnage and choreography that gives The Raid films a run for their money. In particular a wild, on-rails motorcycle chase with a minigun is not only awesome on its own, with passages through enemy vehicles and tearing of enemies with the high-caliber bullets that shred the forces of AKAN into pieces and thrill with unparalleled ferocity and drive. The Brothel shootout is mind-blowing too, full of utterly spectacular gun-fu action, that is punctuated by the picture’s bucket load of guts and blood, with a little of misogyny which is always pleasant to see in today’s Ultra-feminist society. The last 30 minutes of Hardcore are pure insanity and a barrage of almost gratuitous violence, head explosions, decapitations, savage beat downs and wall to wall action that had my heart pumping and sweat dropping at an almost alarming rate. Made even cooler and jaw-dropping by the fantastic score of the Director’s band “Biting Elbows”, being their long-time fan, it was sweetly energizing to hear some of their new tracks at just the right moments to give the action even more punch, and yes Queen’s “Don’t stop me now” is also here and yes that scene is the best part of the movie.

Hardcore is as advertised a cinematic breakthrough and a terrific endeavor from the Russians, that created something truly new and exciting, it is a masterpiece of an action film, made impressively immersive by its POV style and engrossing by its story, plot, and characters, Kudos to Naishuller and his team for making this work. It is worth every cent of every dollar and even my 5 dollar donation back in 2014.

and yes I do feel proud of that :D… Expand

Yes, I knew what it was about. I had seen plenty of sneak peaks over the last couple of months to peak my interest, but after a while you can only take so much of that kind of shaky camera perspective. This movie makes the Blair Witch Project genre of reality perspective films look like still footage in comparison. There are a lot of positive reviews of this movie, but I have to imagine it is from those people who love this type of video game massacre. I do not mind violence in movies, but to kill at a rate of 10 people per minute of film scene is crazy. Henry is mute and so the majority of the film he is just a killing spree being guided by the mysterious Jimmy. I won't spoil the movie for you, but if you are not a video game junkie that blood lusts, then you might want to go watch a less violent movie like Friday the 13th. At least your eyes will be able to focus on the murderous demon and his piles of death.… Expand

Maybe with all of the advancement in VR tech, it's a good idea to make a film that satisfies one's deepest desires not achievable in AAA titles. Or...maybe not. "Hardcore Henry" is an action-packed (emphasis on the "packed") 90-minute 1stMaybe with all of the advancement in VR tech, it's a good idea to make a film that satisfies one's deepest desires not achievable in AAA titles. Or...maybe not. "Hardcore Henry" is an action-packed (emphasis on the "packed") 90-minute 1st person thrill ride that puts audience members in a visceral and nauseating position. The endless barrage of action sequences stacked on Cloverfield-approved camerawork may have you regretting not picking up a couple of aspirins before the opening trailers.

The early 2000s game plotline opens on a lab setting where synthetic goodies are being stitched to the protagonist/director/audience's body by an increasing gorgeous Estelle (Haley Bennett) who claims to be the wife of said character Henry. Just before our hero's voice can be activated, the lab is raided by heavy-armed men at the command of telekinetic albino antagonist Akan (Danila Kozlovsky) whose B-button weapon is the death of story originality. Next, there's the first of many struggles, complete with an impossible dive from the airship housing the lab and the inevitable kidnapping (inciting incident) of Henry's wife.

A classic run'n'gun-inspired button tutorial follows as Henry makes his way through Moscow until he encounters an alley named Jimmy (Sharlto Copley) who feeds him mini-missions which ultimately lead him to the final boss who wants to take...over the world? Gripping.

"Henry" is a free-for-all of the most epic moments in video game history adapted into live-action form. No matter how impossible, no matter how grotesque, it check off every gamer's to-do list without breaking a sweat or breathing for that matter. At times, it feels more like the creator's personal quest to produce the world's first action trope encyclopedia than a Friday night flick.

The excessive stuffing of crude excitement eventually becomes the film's undoing as we are left with little personal involvement aside from Copley's comedic antics. If doused in paint thinner, it would be unfortunately reduced to a VFX YouTube playlist, modern stereotypes and a thinning plot.

Still, newcomer Ilya Naishuller's technical direction reflects a struggle for true innovation in the action genre and whose efforts closely align with those undertaken decades ago by a young George Lucas with a breakthrough experiment called THX 1138. While innovation may be present, cinematic merit is awarded to quality, not quantity much of which is absent from the film's foundation.

The muted superpowered hero and the creative annihilation of the interchangeable NPCs may speak to the Millennials whose ideas of entertainment are built around the freedom of Grand Theft Auto and the immersive nature of Battlefield, but ultimately the film's incapability of delivering user control, the most alluring feature of such an experiment, denies itself submission to the list of great modern action films.

There has always been a thin line between gimmick and game-changer but taking a half-hearted step forward is only two steps back.
