Hardcore Henry is an action film shot in first person, a first person shooter game on film

Hardcore Henry

Guys, the graphics on this look incredible! I’m going to have to update my rig to be… Wait, you’re telling me this is a movie and not a game? Hollywood has lost its damn mind. It’s almost as if someone took the last 5 minutes of the Doom film, made it better, and shot a whole movie. It’s an interesting premise, but one that will no doubt give people headaches.

But as YouTube user MarcsterS stated:

“This looks fucking stupid and ridiculous.

When can I get tickets?”

The official synopsis is as follows:

Hardcore Henry is one of the most unflinchingly original wild-rides to hit the big screen in a long time: 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.  Five minutes later, you are being shot at, 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 a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination.  You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead.  Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley).  He may be on your side, but you aren’t sure.  If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity.  Good luck, Henry.  You’re likely going to need it…
