So while I was waiting for Deadpool to begin they showed a trailer for an upcoming film called Hardcore Henry, it seemed quite interesting so I thought I’d do a little write up on the trailer which can be found on YouTube.
So the trailer starts with a woman bringing a man by the name of Henry back to life and asking him if he can remember anything a shake of the head to confirm he doesn’t. The next stage you see the woman attaching a robotic arm and leg to Henry. We then find out that the woman piecing poor old Henry back together is indeed his wife.
After some a brief explosion and some men chasing them you start to notice something different about the way this movie has been filmed when a van full of armed mercenaries turn up and start to pummel Henry and push him off a bridge. The film is in fact filmed from a First person perspective the same as used in such games as Call of Duty and Halo it turns out that Henrys wife has been taken hostage and everyone is out to kill Henry.
The Queen song Don’t stop me now kicks in after a soldier chucks Henry a shotgun and cue Henry running around causing all sorts of destruction and chaos from shooting a mercenary mid-air as he is kicked down a flight of stairs to crashing through the back of a van firing a mini gun and flying out the front. There is also a moment where he is on the top of a van and drops a grenade through the sun roof jumping off the van and ending up on the back of a guy riding a motorbike.
After a few more fight scenes one of which shares similarities to the scene in Kill Bill Volume with the Uma Thurman fighting the Crazy 88’s where he appears to be completely outnumbered by some guys in white overalls and the trailer comes to an end.
The film is set for release on the 8th of April 2016, which so happens to be my birthday so may have to treat myself with a trip to see if it is any good.
