History Film / HardcoreHenry

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: During the assault in Akan's HQ, Jimmy takes a fire axe and prepares for the [[LastStand]]... only to be unceremoniously gunned down by the mooks.

* RealityEnsues:
** By the end of the movie [[spoiler: Clone!]]Jimmy is gunned down trying to fight mooks with an axe, [[spoiler: and the real Jimmy is mortally wounded by shrapnel from some of the explosions on the way.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillian: Akan [[spoiler: and Estelle]] could have survived and succeed in their plans if they just killed Henry when they had a chance.

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:By Akan and Estelle. They feed false memories to Henry, put an implant in his head and set him loose — Henry's [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge]] was merely a field test of their cyborg army, and it was only flawed by his heroic resolve.]]

* Chekhov'sGun: During one of his speeches Akan mentions that he will be using Henry's memories of Estelle (first 10 minutes of the movie) to motivate his cyborg soldiers. [[spoiler: Later in the film we find out the very same thing has been done to Henry himself, and his memories of Estelle are a ruse.]]

* GeniusCripple: [[Jimmy]]

* WatchingAVideoGame: It's basically the FPS scene from [[Film/{{Doom}}the Doom movie]] extended to a feature-length movie.

* ShoutOut: "Many". A notable one in the trailer is the scene in which Henry's arm is replaced is extremely similar to one in ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}''; the lab is nearly identical, and Estelle looks quite a lot like Doc in her labcoat.

Mr. Henry is not "[[{{Music/Queen}} having a good time]]".

Henry has woken up with amnesia, some chest scars, slight color-blindness, and ''two of his limbs missing''. A woman (Haley Bennett) introducing herself as his wife fills in the blanks; Harry was a scientist working on augmentation technology, but due to an incident was clinically dead long enough to cause permanent brain damage. She did her best to fix him, using the prototype organs and limbs that he was working on, and so far they seem to be working really well.

Then a well-staffed overlord Akan (Danila Kozlovsky) breaks in and kidnaps the wife.

Henry finds himself in the middle of Moscow, hunted by hundreds of Akan's assassins for his augmentations, and shoehorned by British agent Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). Jimmy has a lot of guns, and for some reason Henry knows how to use them all.

Mr. Henry is going to "have a good time", and there ''will'' be collateral damage.

Get ready for 2016's First Person Action Shoot-Em-Up movie, 60 minutes of pure, mook-killing, civilian-punching, van-exploding action, suspense, and WAR.

-->'''[[TimRoth Tim Roth's character]]''': You gonna lay there, with all that blood in your mouth? Or are you gonna go out and spill theirs?

Mr. Henry is not "having a good time".

* DareToBeBadass: Jimmy encourages Henry to stop letting the bad guys punch him in the face and start making them ''bleed''.
* GatlingGood: First-person gatling gun through an entire van!
* TheOner: Most of the movie will literally be from Henry's point-of-view, with few knockouts in between.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: They took his wife. And even if she isn't his wife, he has one billion dollars' worth of weaponized augmentations on him, so as long as they keep coming, ''he will never stop killing''.
