Normally when a movie tries to make out it’s a once in a generation event, it’s an indication that the film itself will be a bit underwhelming. At least Hardcore genuinely is something a little bit different. Actually forget that, it’s not that different for videogame fans, as this is an entire movie show from a first-person perspective, with visuals that look like they’ve dropped out of an extremely violent game.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry and congratulations, you’re now a cyborg. 5 minutes later, your wife has been kidnapped and you should probably go get her back. Who’s got her? His name’s Akan (Danila Kozlovsky), he’s just a psychotic megalomaniac with telekinetic powers, and a never-ending army of mercenaries. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, Russia and everyone wants you dead. Everyone, except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). He might be on your side. Good luck Henry. You’re very much likely to need it…’
The movie looks completely nuts and if you’re squeamish about violence then don’t press play below, but otherwise take a look and see what you thing.
