No, Hardcore Henry is not a video game, it's a first person movie that will get your adrenaline pumping. We have already experienced some video game adaptations (Doom, Prince of Persia, etc.), but Hardcore Henry does not borrow the script or the main characters from video games, but the first-person way of looking, typical especially for shooting games, where we follow the action from a first-person perspective. Similar to a toymaker, the viewer follows the action through the eyes of the protagonist, in this case the actor Sharlto Copley. The film was directed by Ilya Naishuller.
Hardcore Henry is a first-person shooter, modeled on shooter video games, where the action is (mostly) watched through the eyes of the main actor. It is a celluloid version of a shooter, so there is no shortage of action scenes, blood and shooting.
