Hardcore Henry (2015) is a unique cinematic experiment as an amalgam of the science fiction film, combined with the aesthetics of the First-Person Shooter (FPS) video game. Shot entirely from the optical point of view of Henry, the cyborg protagonist, the film aligns the viewer with Henry’s perspective as he pursues goals that are more akin to gaming level progression than character development. With an unprecedented 87% action-to-story ratio, the film also claims the title of the most action-packed film analyzed on this website.
