An extreme and extremely hard-to-stomach movie

HARDCORE Henry is the cinematic equivalent of a flying roller coaster ride. This stomach-churning, headache-inducing and downright nauseating movie - shot entirely on first-person-perspective GoPro cameras strapped to the heads of stuntmen - is both extreme and extremely hard to stomach. Literally.

Between barf breaks and dizzy spells, a story about a cyborg-like warrior up against an army of Russian thugs led by a long-haired albino with telekinetic powers emerges - but that's almost beside the point. This film is a hyperkinetic, feature-length shooter video game, a cross between Call of Duty and the carnage-wreaking church scene in Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015), where Colin Firth's character annihilates an entire congregation in fast-fast-slow time.

Writer-director Ilya Naishuller - who not coincidentally also has a band called Biting Elbows - bases his debut movie on a couple of music videos that went viral.
