Full Review (Spoilers)

Hardcore Henry is an action packed, in your face, adrenaline filled type of ride and it hits you during every second. You find yourself trying to understand this character and his driving force which isn’t flushed out too well. Sharlto Copley is by far the best thing about this movie. Many folks will tell you that it’s just like a video game and you should love it… well it’s half way right. The shaky camera could put some folks off but all in all this movie is bringing action into a new realm.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d flesh out Henry’s character and his driving force, and ease up on the shaky camera.
