Hardcore Henry is either going to be the most awesome film of all time, or it’s going to make you puke with its POV shaky-cam action. Or both. Basically it’s like a whole movie shot by a cyborg wearing a GoPro. Can you stand it?
The above trailer gives a pretty good sense of what this movie is about. Basically, you’re Henry, a guy who’s lost an arm and a leg—but you get new cybernetic attachments. Then you abseil out of the hospital because your wife has been kidnapped, and you have to go find her. The main point of all this is just to have insane super-violence that feels up close and personal, which sounds just fantastic. I’m in. As long as I don’t need too much Dramamine.
