About this movie

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 (Danila Kozlovsky); 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 (Sharlto Copley.) 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… 2016 STX PRODUCTIONS, LLC.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Ratings and reviews

A fun and exhilarating 96 minutes of non-stop action, that also has good humour throughout, delivered by Sharlto Copley in scene-stealing fashion. The first-person viewpoint allowed it to feel fresh and stand out from the market, while also allowing the audience to feel like they're in the action. It can be a little disorienting at times, but the action is still very good. It's just an absolute blast from start to finish.

96 minutes of a unique movie-making style, that has more than enough action, humour and thrills. The free-running scenes were awesome and, mixed with the close-up fighting, made this a great movie. The soundtrack is perfect, too. It had me smiling from start to finish. Only drawback is the shakiness of the filming style, but that is what happens when using a GoPro.

Good film but I don't recall seeing how akan gets his powers :/ very good film though, not keen on "found footage" films, but at least this one showed most of the gore unlike other films. Must watch if you like action and gore :D <3
