In a sense, a cyborg has no origin story in the Western sense – a ‘final’ irony since the cyborg is also the awful apocalyptic telos of the ‘West’s’ escalating dominations of abstract individuation, an ultimate self untied at last from all…

Like a real life video game. Very thin plot covered up by nonstop action. If you liked shoot em up then you will like this movie.

The cover says, "An unprecedented achievement. Unlike anything you've ever seen." Yes, but that unprecedented aspect makes this movie unworthy of viewing. I quit after 30 minutes.

Hardly giving audiences enough time to breathe, writer/director Ilya Naishuller and his team practically kick us out into the mean streets of Russia where we chase after newborn cyborg Henry as he busts parkour moves up and down buildings,…

Interesting concept. Not much plot. Sharlto Copley does a great job fulfilling something of multiple roles. Similar to a John Wick movie in terms of content: action with guns. The action is well-executed, including a few impressive…

Has a sort "Crank" vibes to it (suggest you actually watch that film if you haven't already to understand what I mean), non-stop gore and violence, some antagonist who uses the force, sexual innuendos/nudity and little to no…

If you are into F P S games or action flics then you will like this.

It's funny - they keep trying to say that it's so "revolutionary", and "it's never been done before", etc. Well, it's been done in about ten thousand video games, and the reason that nobody's actually done a movie out of it? This movie is…

Probably one of the dumbest movies ever made.

Should have been better!

My only comment when it was over - "What was that?" Cool first person perspective, crazy non-stop action, and weird plot. Well, kind of a plot. They didn't bother explaining much, but I'm assuming at least the writer knew the plot. …

Fast moving, realistic blood and guts from an unusual visual perspective. Great for hyped-up caffeine-addled gamers.

This movie feels like watching a very violent and bloody video game. Very interesting concept, but definitely has a pretty niche audience.

Filmed in the first person perspective, extremely violent and somewhat gory. This movie is not for everyone. Every aspect of this movie feels like a video game, and the story moves like the viewer is playing a first person perspective…

This film could use a little bit of backstory, even just one sentences. Why or how does the bad guy have superpowers? Other than that major unanswered question of plot the rest of the movie is okay.

I shut this off maybe halfway through, even after starting to watch it by fast-forwarding it for a very long time. There seems to be a trend of newer movies such as this, being shot with a handheld shaky camera, from the POV (point of…

Hardcore was uber violent but a hoot. I am neither youthful nor a gamer but I do use a GoPro camera when I ski and cycle, so I was used to the format. Not any more over-the-top than a Quentin Tarantino flick, I found it original and action…

If your idea of fun is a migraine headache then this is the film for you. I cannot imagine how this steaming pile ever got a green light for production. It is simply impossible to watch. The camera never stops shaking. The pov gimmick…

It felt like I was playing a game. None stop action that is vertigo-inducing but fun to watch! A real blast!

This is basically like watching a friend play a video game and he is the shooter. It's terrible as far as having a story line, and it's just bloody gore from start to finish as the main character moves though the scenes endlessly killing…

Many good action and stunt works. However, not everyone can handle the first-person view experience for the length of the movie, especially with a lot of running around and fighting 360 degree. Check out the special feature "Fan Club" to…

I was quite absorbed with this film. Very violent, but I'm not an impressionable youngster. I'm not a "gamer", either, so I felt the first person POV perspective/seeing the world throughout the entire film through Henry's eyes was very…

I love first person shooter games but NOT in a movie...ridiculous format and just too hard to follow..I guess its a preference thing so I cant say my rating of 1 star is valid for everyone...use your own judgement but be warned

I LOVE THIS MOVIE but for borrowing not worth the time

Didn't finish it. Not worth the time.
