Hardcore Henry - 6.5/10
I was very interested to see this movie but cautiously so. I'm not a gamer at all (well, FIFA a bit but not any FPS games). Regardless, though, I'm interested to see any movie that does something different from everything else. The plot is very thin and I didn't care about any of it. The ending made no sense and I didn't care for the climactic action sequence at all.
But, I enjoyed the hell out of this movie purely because the stunt work and choreography is brilliant. Some of the action is absolutely stunning. If you're sensitive to motion sickness, this is not for you. The fact that many stunts were performed so well while also filming with a camera is nuts. Props to the whole team for putting together an amazing set of stunt pieces. Especially when so many parts were long oners, it's a testament to the work and the editing that so much action came off and looked great.
It's also nice if you appreciate practical stunts. These Russian dudes are nuts. So much great work. It did make for a visceral experience. My biggest problem with the last act is that the whole film has "realistic" fights in the context of the established world but a part of my disappointment with the last act is that there's a touch of people attacking two or three at a time even though there are many more. That being said, this movie is clearly trying to recreate a FPS in cinematic form and enemies in games are 100% that stupid.
