So, I'm extremely torn on this movie. On the one hand, it exactly what you would expect and more. Insane action, crazy stunts, visceral violence, it really is just like a video game. Now, not all of the action scenes are equally engaging, they seemed to try and spread things out between all the types of different action scenes you could have; chase scene, parkour scene, stealth scene, shootout scene, and some work better than others with Hardcore Henry's unique…
