What happens

Hardcore Henry is a 2015 science fiction action thriller film written and directed by Ilya Naishuller (in his feature directorial debut), and produced by Timur Bekmambetov, Naishuller, Inga Vainshtein Smith, and Ekaterina Kononenko. Will Stewart provided additional writing for the film. The film is notable for being shot entirely from the first-person perspective of its lead character. It stars Sharlto Copley, Danila Kozlovsky, Haley Bennett, and Tim Roth. The film was released theatrically in Russia on April 7, 2016 by Mirsand and the United States on April 8, 2016 by STX Entertainment. It garnered mixed reviews in the U.S., but was more positively received in Russia. Despite grossing $16.8 million worldwide against a $2 million budget, it was considered a box-office bomb in the U.S., due to global rights and marketing for the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
