The horror/thriller genre has become rather stale for me in recent years, most just haven’t been able to capture my attention anymore. The last movie in that genre that I reviewed, Green Room starring the recently deceased Anton Yelchin, is easily the best I have seen in a long time. However, there has been another series of films that has half-heartedly maintained my interest, the most recent entry being The Purge: Election Year.

In recent years, the bar has been set incredibly high with the stunning martial arts in Ip Man, the wonderful over-the-top shoot outs of The Expendables 2, the crazy car chases of Fast 5, and of course there is the complete package of martial arts, guns, knives, and hard-hitting violence that is the Raid series. Ever since The Raid 2, I have been anxiously seeking my next fix, that next great action movie featuring hard-hitting stunts and great cinematography. There have been some fun ones. Somewhat recently, I was pleasantly surprised by London Has Fallen, not that I would call it a good movie, but it knew what it was and it was unabashedly a fun B-Movie type of action flick, only with a bigger budget, greater violence and a more talented cast…and yet as fun as it was, it didn’t quite fill that void. And then a new one came out: Hardcore Henry...
