TheTome56: Straight up, no frills action movies can work well, and can be very entertaining even when they are ridiculously silly (like Crank or Shoot em Up)

However, those movies still require charismatic leading actors for the audience to get behind. Some might argue that action films need charismatic actors EVEN MORE then other genres to help compensate for the craziness going on onscreen.

The film style is novel, but I worry that by taking away the leading character and placing the audience in their place, they might lose that necessary role, thus leading to a decrease in quality that the first person aspect can't replace.

I think this type of first person film style would work much better in a mystery or thriller movie then an action one, but we will see.

Accatone: Both are good movies. If you remember Brainstorm, you should watch it again. It is directed by Douglas Trumbull, who has worked on such classics like 2001 and Blade Runner (he worked on their visual effects). He was also the visual effects consultant on Malick's Tree of Life.

shoveling: TL;DR

Yeah, it looks like it might shake too much and give people with fov problems/whatever headaches/puke.

cool.

Tarm: Strange Days is a good movie. I found it much better than I thought.

omega64: The bigger question is will there be any sex scenes?

HunchBluntley: ...I know what you mean here, but the logic of this phrasing makes my brain cry. =PHunchBluntley: If it's called Hardcore Henry, it would almost have to. =)

Tarm: I don't mix with logic.

tomimt: ...The best attempt was some noir detective story in which the main character is seen only from reflections and so on. I don't recall it's name though.

tinyE: I've been wanting to talk about this for a few weeks now, thank you for starting a thread.

My biggest concern at this point is, after 30 minutes, isn't the POV going to get a little annoying if not nauseating? :P

HunchBluntley: Nor do I -- that would be absurd! Mixing with something like a whisk would be much easier and more effective.

Maighstir: But, but, but... I use logic to mix everything up... in illogical ways. I mean, logic is the thing you use to drive in screws, right?

Tarm: Yeah it's hard to get the dryness palatable.
