 You know when you get that tea there's that tea that you want and you don't think it'd be a good idea But you want it anyways, and you want the big version of it, then you get it. You really like it at first But then it kind of goes as a little stale Hey guys, this is my review for hardcore Henry a film that kind of came out of nowhere And a lot of people were excited for or not as much as it's definitely showing from the box office But it was definitely a film that people were interested in because first-person point of view films are Arraved and they're my guilty pleasure I will admit that and the fact that they were doing a full-on first-person shooter And it looked exactly like a video game pretty much that was amazing and it looked sweet and the trailers were great Especially with the queen song. So this one has a hold up. Well It's really fun at first the visuals that are pretty decent and admittedly it is very bombastic but you actually are pretty certain of what's going on they do some really cool parkour and The action is intense. The funniest thing is the story is good and bad at the same time The one thing that's really good about it is it perfectly emulates a video game There are certain moments where they're straight out of video games like where the bad guy will keep you But then he'll he'll set you free to keep on going because that's his plan his ultimate plan Or the fact that there's one point where charto coply's like me better photo good night down there lad And it's like, you know, I was expecting him to hit say hit x to reload The one of the issues about this film though is that the film is very ambiguous and it's not because it's trying to be It's more so that it has to be because of the character's perspective We have to constantly keep this sort of unknown factor to it And while it is enjoyable, there are moments where you're like, okay What the hell is actually going on the visuals do get a little bit over the top at some points And there are moments where you actually do have no idea what's going on. Not only you're kind of You're kind of confused story wise, but you're also confused visually wise But at least to say the action is amazing throughout this entire film The visceral violence is amazing And that's the film's biggest problem. I'm amazed I'm admitting this but I got desensitized about 45 minutes through after this there's this really awesome chase with like on top of the cars And they're jumping up and top and they're shooting at each other try to get onto this truck That it's the point where the film starts to go down for me And it's not because it's not awesome still. It's just I've literally seen the I've hit the peak of visual violence At the end has this amazing fight scene of all these guys and this amazing choreography and all this Extreme amount of blood and violence and I'm just sitting there going Okay, and the reason why is because it's such a visual overload There's a reason why these first person point of view things are so great on the internet It's because they last 10 minutes 10 20 minutes, and that's the visual stimulation. That's as far as we can go now That's it's terrible to say that but that's as far as our brains can really take it Unless we are pushed beyond a point we get Desensitized and it starts to lose its flavor and that's what unfortunately happens in this film Is I stopped caring after a while and admittedly if start to cope. It's probably the best part of this movie He's better than the visual violence and the visual violence is amazing He is the best part but the problem is if I tell you anything more than the fact that he is helping the main character I spoil an amazing part about the story and he is the best part of the story Entirely because the villain of this film. He's cool. He's the guy who's running the He's got these psychic powers that doesn't make any sense But he's admittedly he is exactly like a video game villain because he's like talking all mysterious He's like will Henry maybe we will continue this later and this point for you like why don't you kill him? But then he lets him go and you're like okay in the end It sort of makes sense because of the grand scheme of things But he is exactly like a video game villain. I was expecting health bars I was expecting a reticle and this film is a video game incarnate We're never gonna probably get a actual video game like If it wanted to be the best video game movie ever All we'd have had to seen is actual prompts for reloads or attacks and whatnot And then this would have been the best video game film ever about a non-video game I give the director credit for doing something that's completely Very ballsy must have been hard to choreograph this crap I give short to copely credit for doing an amazing performance And I give the team credit for trying to do something very difficult and something very new To a thing that's very old, but in the end I'm gonna give hardcore Henry a 4 out of 7 I did enjoy it, but the problem is you're gonna get desensitized and afterwards you're not gonna want to watch it again That's like it mostly is with other films of this genre is once you've seen them once You never really want to see them again because we get a single A single protein perspective for a story and when you've seen that one perspective The entire way through you know all the angles There are some moments that maybe I would want to watch again certain action scenes But as I said I got desensitized and that's the weirdest thing I could say about this film I don't know if that's a weird sort of comment on my character. I hope I'm not some weird person But either way I did enjoy this film. You will enjoy it's a film I admit you have to see to experience it But I feel you will have the same thoughts as I do when the film ends Anyway guys, that's all from me. Hope you enjoyed this review. See you next time
