For decades, it has been considered an insult to suggest your movie feels like a video game.
For in the age of Pewdiepie, the times are a-changin.
On its own,Hardcore Henryis excessive, crude, vapid… and a whole lot of fun.
And this will come in handy since just about everything else in the movie is destructible and/or killed.
That is not to say it is devoid of its own actual creative strength away from the stunts.
There is also the other secret weapon: Sharlto Copley as Jimmya lot of Jimmys.
Also, there is ultimately a disconnect between watching this perspective without controlling it.
The sensation of passivity is inescapable sinceHardcore Henryis inherently a FPS that you are witnessing someone else maneuver.
A brave new world, indeed.
