Hardcore

A melhor festa de homens com muitos detalhes bem trabalhados. Violento, sangrento, engraçado, frenético, visualmente fantástico. Um evento de género importante (finalmente alguém O conseguiu!) e espero que uma das sequelas enfie o seu conceito numa história mais densa com um ponto de partida de tirar o fôlego. E depois estarei a grunhir de felicidade. (27/04/2016)

Hardcore Henry, or how to use a shaky camera to create a stylish piece from the first person point of view, which draws you in and most importantly, and I feel obliged to say this, you see everything clearly, transparently and without any difficulties. Add in the fact that they did not bother at all with any age restrictions, which makes it a clear R rated film. The only thing that is missing to make this film perfect are some cool lines, as Henry during the whole film does not speak at all. Luckily, the acting is saved by Sharlto Copley, who has multiple roles here and moves between them in the blink of an eye. (03/06/2019)

A mainline adrenaline hit straight to a player’s heart. Memories of Far Cry, GTA, Crysis and other games and others come rushing at you with every minute of the movie. Sharlto Copley’s and his amazing antics drag this movie forward, but the real hero is Naishuller, who pieced the movie together. Great music. A feelgood movie. (05/03/2017)

The Russian Tarantino made all men's dreams come true! Hardcore Henry is a wild and thrilling ride that keeps the throttle on for 90 minutes and doesn't let up until the extreme finale. If anyone remembers the excellent church scene from Kingsman, imagine it in a 90 minute package and you get Hardcore Henry. For a mere two million dollars, the director serves up everything guys crave. Lots of cool action that will make you reminisce about the games like “Counter Strike”, “Modern Warfare”, “Half- Life 2”, “Portal” and “Mirrors Edge”, countless dirty jokes that will put a smile on your face. The scene in the brothel will please our eyes, the amazing soundtrack will please our ears and the breathtaking intensity of the violence and countless gore scenes surpass anything I've seen so far (broken spines, ripped out hearts, open chests, shot up heads and brains, and numerous fractures on every part of the body). On top of all that, the story is not at all naive and infantile, on the contrary, it even pulls out a nice ace in the form of a solid twist at the end. It is quite clear that Hardcore Henry is completely out of reality and at times it really feels like you are playing and watching a very rough action game – I don't even blame the few hysterical ladies who left the cinema. If I were at a Barbie movie, I wouldn’t stay in the cinema long either. If you are a high octane alpha male craving proper entertainment and lots of violence like me, you will not be disappointed. Story 7/10, Atmosphere 8/10, Gore 10/10, Visuals 7/10, Action 10/10, Suspense 8/10,Humor 7/10. Entertainment 10/10. 95%. (02/05/2016)

The pure fire of an avid fan of decadence who pursues the ultimate physical experience with the vigor of a Soviet bulldozer. The creative stubbornness is admirable, but dramaturgically it's pretty bad because, around the 60th minute, it starts to chafe. The frantic ending, however, lifts up the video game concept (literally) into high gear (arcade jumps included) and revs into the red. It’s a progressive genre detour, but unfortunately into a dead end. (23/04/2016)
