In my adventures as a reviewer, I have seen a variety of movies. I have seen that movies can be massive blockbusters, simplistic popcorn flicks or independent works of art. Yet there comes a time where a movie tries to do something unique. In this case I refer to the the new sci-fi action movie:
Hardcore Henry. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, Hardcore Henry is the first of its kind as it was not only filmed with a GoPro camera, but the film is in fact an action movie that is in the first person perspective. Watching the preview was enough to grab my attention as the film looked both ambitious and creative. So is Hardcore Henry a one of kind action film or is this flick too ambitious for its own good?
The action film follows the silent protagonist Henry; whom awakes to discover that his body is all prosthetic. Getting aid from his wife Estelle (Haley Bennett), Henry's life is quickly turned upside when the evil Akan (Danila Kozlovsky) captures Estelle and sends his goons to hunt down Henry. With the aid of the lucrative Jimmy (Sharlto Copley), Henry fights back against the notorious organization and sets off to stop Akan as well as save his wife.
