Having its main character essentially be invulnerable takes the stakes out of his fights, which means even more thinking needs to go into the action design to maximize this effect. The appearance of Diesel being rebuilt by the wispy nanites reminded me of Apocalypse's weird sand powers in X-Men: Apocalypse. There's one CGI-heavy fight scene down 50 stories of elevator shaft that has some moments to it, but as a whole Bloodshoot feels bloodless with its excitement. I was looking for the super-powered action sequences to be a major source of fun with this one and they left me shrugging. You can feel that certain visual compositions are here just to look cool for a trailer. The action is over-edited and under developed, with first-time director Dave Wilson (an esteemed director of video game cut scenes and promo trailers) getting lost in the "cool stuff" of his world, little gizmos and side characters rounding out Diesel's super-powered teammates and later opponents. That's the problem with Bloodshot is that it's a two-hour action movie that feels like it's going through the motions, built upon the spare parts of other better movies, and heading in one direction that's too telegraphed. The movie plays this as a big twist even though it was central in the trailer and advertising, and despite the fact that it seems too convoluted a path for a science project in the billions, it's pretty predictable. He gets vengeance on the man who killed his wife or so he believes, as Diesel's memory is wiped after every successful kill and re-implanted with new memories of a new identity of his wife's murderer.
Based on a Valiant comic book, and reportedly the first step in a hopeful Valiant Cinematic Universe (oh boy), Vin Diesel stars as dead soldier given new life thanks to tiny nanites living in his blood that magically repair his body, making him nigh invincible. Rating: PG-13 (Language|Intense Sequences of Violence|Some Suggestive Material)īloodshot is the kind of junky sci-fi action movie you might have seen in the 90s before The Matrix, the kind of thing that an X-Files episode would have covered, probably with a better sense of storytelling. But when the company decides to manipulate his mind and memories, Garrison must embark on a desperate mission to find out what's real and what's not.
With an army of nanotechnology in his veins, he's an unstoppable force - stronger than ever with the power to heal instantly.
