The Motion Picture Industry has exploited women for so many years, in so many ways, that it is hard to think that they can ever top themselves. Well, they have finally reached the bottom of their sewers. It's a movie called Hardcore. The movie is nothing but a word game designed to impress a public interested in depraved and industrialized sex. Despite its subject, the movie is beyond austerity -- it's inert. Although flawed by a trope-filled ending, "Hardcore" is a fascinating social drama that makes scathing commentary about capitalism and America's puritanical pretenses. Hardcore is a mess, but it's a fascinating mess, and it's held together by a galvanizing performance from George C.

Rotten Tomatoes® Score
The man is played by George C. Scott , the girl by Season Hubley. They have moments in the movie when they talk, really talk, about what's important to them and we're reminded of how much movie dialogue just repeats itself, movie after movie, year after year. There's a scene in "Hardcore" where the man who is a strict Calvinist and the prostitute who began selling herself in her early teens talk about sex, religion, and morality, and we're almost startled by the belief and simple poetry in their words. This relationship, between two people with nothing in common, who meet at an intersection in a society where many have nothing in common, is at the heart of the movie, and makes it important.
