Full Review Page

Hardcore Henry is a nausea inducing first-person action/sci-fi movie that is stupid in all the right ways and confusing in all the wrong ones. The story itself is needlessly complicated and it only gets worse as it goes. I spent most of the movie either wondering why characters are doing what they are doing or trying to figure out what exactly is happening. The entire movie is clearly just a vehicle to test the first-person gimmick and it shows. The issue is that seeing everything in first person often makes it hard to decipher action scenes, which are most of the movie. The action is well choreographed, but any fight with more than two characters gets confusing, as we are only seeing a part of the action and from a very narrow lens. For a two million dollar movie, it looks pretty good. In general, gore and explosions are impressive, but there are a few scenes that are clearly entirely CGI and they look terrible. There is one scene that literally looks like it could have been a cut scene from a PlayStation One game. The dialog is also an issue, not because of the writing (which is pretty bad, but I don't expect much from an action movie and it delivers what it needs to), but because much of it is in Russian and there are no subtitles for it. The subtitles for the movie are only for the English parts and there isn't even a "Speaking Russian" cue that pops up. I'm not sure if I am just expected to know Russian or if I m supposed to not understand a third of the script. I get that it is a Russian-American film, but it's an odd choice not to translate the Russian for us and especially to not even mention is the subtitles that speaking was even happening. I watch every movie with subtitles and if I was actually deaf or hard of hearing, I wouldn't even know someone was talking if they were out of frame and speaking Russian because the subtitles never even bother to tell you. For what it is, Hardcore Henry is a fun experience, but it is not a good movie. The story is stupid and the ending doesn't really make sense when you consider the events of the entire movie. It is definitely worth noting that the first person view point can certainly affect some viewers. We get a lot of shaky cam, which made me nauseous and gave my sister a headache. I wouldn't say it causes motion sickness, but you've ever had to look away from an Imax screen, be prepared.
