Om den här filmen

You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife who 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. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. If you can survive the insanity and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Strap in for a wild ride that critics are calling “a revolutionary movie experience.” – Indiewire (Original Title - Hardcore Henry) - 2016 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.

I like action movies. I like shoot-em-up movies. I like movies with some violence in them. I don't really like movies that are nothing but violence. This was one of those movies. It was killing after killing after killing. The killing went on for the entire movie, non-stop. I doubt there was 30 seconds without someone being killed. Usually it was a dozen or so at a time too. This was not a movie I would watch again. There is no real plot. There's a thin bit that could have been done in about a minute that might be considered story but the rest: Blood, gore, killing, blood, gore, killing. Too much. Too fast. No reason. I suggest missing this one.

This movie is pretty average to be honest, by action movie standards. But in a way, that's good. This movie is more of a creative experiment with first POV and keeping the story simple kept the movie very inmersive. There are certainly little elements here and there that were surprising and very interesting, creative, and well executed. My only personal complaint is the motion sickness I got from it but it is expected with this kind of movie. Watch it with quite a distance between you and the screen.

I remember seeing the internet video this was based on forever ago and loved it. Heard they were making a movie and thought yeah that's cool, watched it and thought man this is exhausting and wish it was over. The novelty wore off after about 30 minutes, checked the time remaining several times before I started playing a game and largely ignored it until it was over.
