Hardcore Henry is a first person action film in which the audience sees everything through the eyes of Henry, a man resurrected from the brink of death as a cybernetic supersoldier who remembers nothing about his past. He is trying to save his wife Estelle, who has been kidnapped by Akan, a powerful warlord with a plan for bio-engineering soldiers. In the unfamiliar city of Moscow, Henry tries to avoid being killed while discovering the truth behind his identity.
(Director Ilya Naishuller, Budget $?Millions -> Box Office $?Millions, Duration 1hr 35mn, Rating R, Genre - Action Thriller, Fantasy, First Person Shooter/Perspective, Science Fiction)
"An ambitious concept of using one of the most famous game tropes for a whole movie presents more positive opportunities than negative for the moviegoers to experience."
~ Ambitious and risky concept to make a full length movie entirely from the first person perspective from start to finish, offering a whole new range of possibility for the viewers, both positive and negative with a hands-on and tactile experience literally from the eyes of the protagonist but it would severely limits the filmmaker's options to capture his movie in a more conventional way
~ Although there's a high probability of motion sickness to be triggered for certain individuals, these limitations would hopefully force the director's hands to be more creative and inventive in this particular scope, which is pretty evident in the recent trailer
