HARCORE HENRY is a crazy headcam action movie which makes you feel like you’re watching a very dizzy first person shooter video game.   Henry is brought back as a cyborg by his scientist wife Elise.   Soon she is captured by crazy Russian albino Akon (who has telekinetic powers).   Henry is aided in his quest to rescue Elise by Jimmy (who keeps getting killed and coming back somehow).  Henry can’t speak and his personal memories are limited as the body count rises as he fights to rescue Elise.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES:

Four deleted scenes cut for pacing reasons in the odd choice of being in 1.33:1

 

FAN CHAT is with writer/ director Ilya Naishuller and actor/ executive producer Sharlto Copley as they answer Facebook questions from fans and learn a few tidbits from the movie on how it came to be, having several different stuntmen to play Henry, and the head camera technology they used to shoot.

 

Two feature audio commentaries- one with writer/ director Ilya Naishuller and actor/ executive producer Sharlto Copley and the other just with writer/ director Ilya Naishuller

 

Code to download and stream a digital HD Ultraviolet copy of the movie

 

FINAL ANALYSIS: HARDCORE HENRY is a crazy action movie even though the camera style is worse than the camera style used in the Paul Greengrass directed BOURNE movies.
