The gimmick is tiresome after the first act and ultimately there's nothing to grasp here dramatically, emotionally or even superficially as a fun action flick.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 1, 2024

Naishuller's presentation begins to numb the viewer about midway through, leaving us hungry for the story's few remaining kernels of plot instead of another of its chaotic set pieces.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 18, 2022

It's undeniably fun to watch for action lovers, but don't think about Hardcore Henry too much, or else everything else will fall apart.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 9, 2021

... Hardcore Henry reads like any other actioner and at various points within the movie it could have fallen into that trap. Through the use of layered storytelling, clever timing, and a competent cast, Henry never gets boring or, worse, exhausting.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 10, 2021

Hardcore Henry is in your face. Literally. If any movie was ever appropriate to use the cliched phrases such as, "action packed" or "a pure adrenaline rush", this is the movie for it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 1, 2021

The entertainment level is extraordinarily high, injecting a bit of everything from both the video game world and the action movie world.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Hardcore Henry is dumb fun, but it's dumb fun done well.

The power of its kinetic energy and its meticulous bloody choreography from the first to the last minute cannot be ignored. [Full Review in Spanish]

Hardcore Henry is fun enough but not in any way worth making yourself ill for an hour and a half.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 17, 2019

It's infantile trash from front to end, with a few neat moments of stunt work that get lost amidst the numbing onslaught of violence.

It is a lot of fun for fans of science fiction action thrillers, with a nice performance by Copley.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 7, 2019

Hardcore Henry is one of those rare films that almost makes so little sense that it makes perfect sense. But what it lacks in plotline, it makes up for with some seriously innovative first-person special effects.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2019

Hardcore Henry earns its title in terms of action and gore, but unless one is truly able to invest in an unplayable game with a flat narrative, it also becomes cumulatively hardcore in terms of boredom.

| Original Score: C | Nov 1, 2018

There were so many moments that made this movie worthwhile...I just wish that they did even more with it...there's no other movie like it, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Boastfully bloody and violent fun.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Writing a faithful synopsis for Hardcore Henry would be like writing a plot summary for a Jackson Pollack painting.

| Jul 22, 2018

If you are a fan of cartoony action and bone-crunching sci-fi, you need to see Hardcore Henry. It will fill your black heart with joy and make your eyeballs boil with delight.

Hardcore Henry has no story and is as dumb as a high-school jock, but there is endless potential for what else can be done. Maybe a POV movie with an actual plot for starters

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2017

It's as if Total Recall met Crank met your PlayStation console - but better, stronger, faster.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2017

The only surprising thing about an action movie filmed entirely with GoPro cameras is why it took so long.
