"Reason for the future sucking: Imagine, being dead. Then coming back to life, not knowing who you are. Then learning your wife is about to be cloned, and bio engineered. That would kind of suck. Year it takes place: Near futurish."
"I finally watched Hardcore Henry and .......... it was actually a bit disappointing. The main problem is that it is too choppy and shaky. Yes, I realize that it's supposed to be just like a first person shooter video game, but it was a real bitch with my vertigo. Seriously, the highlight of Hardcore Henry is when Slick Dmitri's head gets blown to pieces, Postal style. Am I the only person who thought of Kenny from South Park whenever Jimmy would show up only to get killed again?"

A glorious action fiesta - but not without issues
“"Like my father always said, a grenade a day keeps the enemy at bay."
The narrative thrust of 2016's Hardcore Henry is nothing out of the ordinary, but the "hook" is that it's a first-person action movie, shown entirely from the point of view of the titular cyborg. Russian filmmaker Ilya Naishuller makes his directorial debut here after making quite a splash online by testing the first-person technique in action-packed music videos which raised demand for a feature-length motion picture in the same vein. The result is fundamentally a 95-minute POV chase, with Naishuller staging as much first-person carnage as possible, from fisticuffs to shootouts to car chases. It should be an easy home run, but the experience is ultimately let down by an uninteresting story and too many tedious” read more

Hace tiempo hable de una pelicula que ocurre en primera persona todo el tiempo, lo cual fue First Person Shotter (aqui dejo la misma [Link removed - login to see], asi que claro que iba a estar emocionado en ver Hardcore Henry.
Y vaya que me diverti viendola, pero el final de la pelicula da un giro argumental que es un gran error y se contradice a si misma con el protagonista.
Aun asi, los que guste de la acción frenetica y "hardcore", les recomiendo ver esta obra.” read more
"Watched 07/26/2016 Rating 5.5/10 Format: Blu Ray For a crazy action movie the action in it was pretty lackluster although it was fun seeing Sharlto Copley die over and over and the ending was decent also i fell like this film would have been better in 48/60fps so the action could be more appreciated.

"August 6th Directed by: Ilya Naishuller Every scene in this movie is fun. Except for the beginning, the ending, and every scene with Jimmy in it. So that is to say about 15% of the movie is fun. The rest ranges from boring to insufferable."
" First Viewing Viewing Date: August 6th Via: Blu-ray Plot: Henry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers."
"18.7, PC Ihan mielenkiintoinen idea nykytoimintaleffojen saralla kuvata tapahtumat puhumattoman pääosaesittäjän FPS -pelien tyyliin. Välillä toimintakohtaukset ovat hienoja ja kekseliäitä, välillä taas hyvin sekavaa mättämistä ja toisaalta putkijuoksumaista pahisten ampumista käytävillä. Elokuvan pahis on harmillisen kaavamainen, mutta tarina toimii tarpeeksi hyvänä kehyksenä kuljettaa päähenkilöä toimintakohtauksesta toiseen ilman sellaista tunnetta, että tässä vain j"
