Anyone who has seen a handful of movies from writer/director Paul Schrader knows what they’re in for: lonely guy goes through an existential crisis, gets involved in stuff he should probably stay out of, finds the only logical conclusion to his story. Taxi Driver, First Reformed, American Gigolo, The Card Counter, the list goes on. There are exceptions, of course, but it’s a story that he’s written for over 50 years. 1979’s Hardcore is one of those films — recently released on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber, the first American release since 2016.
