"The film premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2015.[5][6] The film became one of the highest-profile at the festival, and led to a bidding war between Lionsgate, Universal, and STX Entertainment. Ultimately, STX acquired worldwide rights to Hardcore, including a wide release commitment, for $10 million, becoming the studio's first festival acquisition.[7] It was retitled Hardcore Henry for its domestic release"
This movie KICKED ASS. Wish the mods would change the title to it's appropriate name though. Supposed to be Hardcore Henry.
8/10 at the least for me. Really, really fun.

Hardcore Henry is a 96 minute roller-coaster of a movie. Do you like action? Do you like Parkour? Do you like explosions? Do you like first person shooters?
Now, I know what you're thinking; that all sounds like it would suck in a movie format. Well, it doesn't. It is a tremendously fun experience. Sharlto Copley is great in the movie, and is really the only fleshed out character. But he's great, and his plot is pretty cool.
There are several absolutely hilarious moments in the movie: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: one involving a billy club; another a horse riding attempt....I'll let you guys figure out the rest
This movie KNOWS the premise is dumb, but it never takes itself overly serious. It just wants to entertain you and it does. I had more fun at this movie than any movie this year, including Deadpool.
Again, solid 8/10 for me; with the only real problems being slightly weak plot and villain.

Good to hear. Pretty much what I'm expecting out of this, not an in depth plot, story or great acting, just an adrenaline fueled fun ride. I have others films this year for plot, story and acting, eg Money Maker, Birth Of A Nation, The Founder
It is nice that Hollywood can make a movie that isn't a 3 hour bladder buster. I am just concerned that I will need to take a box of Dramamine before seeing this.

I didn't have any issues. I suppose if you have a weak stomach you might not want to watch this in theaters though. The shaky cam really is only a problem at the beginning of the movie; it gets a lot better after that.

Every time I see a commercial I flash back to the Blair Witch ....although that sick feeling was due more to it being a shitty movie then the shaky cam.
