Hardcore Henry is an action film told from a first person perspective: You remember nothing. Mainly because you've just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. Who's got her? His name's Akan; he's a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You're also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy. He may be on your side, but you aren't sure. If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Good luck, Henry. You're likely going to need it...User Reviews
What an Exciting Premise!!!!
Sharlto Copley has
shown an impressive form of range and versatility in his acting career.
He has played a bureaucrat, a kid-friendly robot and even made turns
playing villains and tough guy protagonists. His acting abilities cannot
simply jar him as a mere character actor. He consistently delivers a
magnificent performance.
And then we have Hardcore Henry . . .
What intrigues me is that for a Sci-Fi Actioner that was entirely funded by an Indiegogo campaign, the film by its first glance of the trailer has surely taken on the appearance of a blockbuster film. More so that the entire film will be viewed from a first-person narrative and will simulate the feeling of an actual video game . . . These factors is more than enough for me to sink my teeth into it upon its release.
I understand that after its screening at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, audience interest ran high and several independent production houses such as Lionsgate immediately lay down bids for purchasing the distribution rights on the very spot!!!!
In any event I am very excited to view this motion picture when it hopefully hits my country's shores this year.
