Unique action sequences? Check. Drugs, boobs, blood? Plenty! Off-putting, dated, derogatory dialogue? Almost every other sentence! “What are you, a pussy?” “Hardcore Henry” puts its cards on the table from the very first line. If you are bothered by a story about an amnesiac cyborg whose only memory is his father (Tim Roth) asking the aforementioned question, “Hardcore Henry” isn't for you. As far as bad-taste action-adventure goes it is certainly watchable, if only for its creative use of first-person perspective.
