This is a video game experience best enjoyed as a visual spectacle rather than an interactive one! The narrative unfolds entirely through Henry’s eyes, establishing a first-person perspective reminiscent of gameplay—though you'll be observing, not participating. You won't see Henry’s face; he represents the viewer and remains silent throughout. The character was portrayed by several stunt performers, and their daring sequences are incredibly well executed. Effectively, the film’s main focus is on the cinematography, so significant praise should go to that person for handling multiple responsibilities. The story progresses as a continuous event centered around pursuit and escape from the very beginning. As it unfolds, we learn the reasons behind what's happening and who is orchestrating it all. The supporting cast was exceptional, particularly the South African actor known for his role in 'District 9,' whose various appearances were truly impressive. I also found the Russian settings to be a welcome change of scenery. The plot itself is straightforward but somewhat perplexing. While most elements are explained, lingering questions remain. Consequently, I’m hoping for a continuation; ideally, it should become a trilogy. For any future installments, I envision experiencing them in a cinema with virtual reality headsets—that feels like the direction film should take, especially given the nature of this particular movie. It's an incredibly original and wild film, easily among the best released this year. It shares similarities with Jason Statham’s 'Crank,' and is just as enjoyable. If you appreciate action movies, you will likely find this one appealing, particularly if you are a gamer—it offers an extra layer of enjoyment. The American audience didn't react to it in their typical way, as it isn't a Hollywood or British production. Critics seemed reluctant to acknowledge the creativity on display, but this is a film that deserves to be seen and has resonated with audiences worldwide. Don’t hesitate to watch it. 8.5/10
