It’s an easy answer. It’s a very pulpy, violent, action film shot entirely in a real time first person vantage. A guy gets experimented on, escapes from the bad scientist, then goes on a 90 min video game quest to save his kidnapped wife. It’s all explosions sand train fights. It’s the kind of thing you worry that people will respect you less for having enjoyed, but it’s honestly an outstanding use of cinema and very fun.
If you like cheesy b horror and practical effect demo there is one called Hotel Inferno that is first person continual shot similar to Hardcore Henry but it can be a bit rough at times. The English dubbing isn’t great for example. At times the practical effects almost feels like the finisher kills from Doom 2016.
That’s fair. I watched the whole trilogy and honestly it just becomes a slog. They took a novel idea and tried to franchise it and I think that wasn’t the best idea. Hardcore Henry is still very much superior.
Hardcore Henry.

Lovely movie. It’s done so well, I’m surprised nobody else attempted it.

I think I’ve seen some bits, it looked pretty trash… But I don’t really have the appreciation for B horror.
