There is also New Girl fame Lamorne Morris, who is partly hilarious, partly annoying as the super-brainie techie. The CGI is awful in certain places, especially in the climax.Īs for Vin Diesel, the actor drones through the film with the usual motions, as if he is waiting for the next F&F movie to arrive while he basks on the paycheck of this one. Eiza González nails the part of the hot-looking second lead, whose conscience gets the predictable prick in time. The action scenes are shoddily shot, with the first major scene shrouded in so much darkness as if the movie also expects the viewers to be Bloodshot. There is so much happening on the screen, especially after the big reveal, but the film can't get rid of the monotonous feel throughout. Not to mention, some really droll performance from the actor. There is also a secondary antagonist in Jimmy Dalton (Sam Heughan), a former soldier with cybernetic legs, whose attempts to be a bully feel forced and awkward.
Or is itself inspired by Memento, that, incidentally, also has Guy Pearce as an amnesiac killer on vendetta spree, and gets a reboot every now and then. Only if, this 'best' part wasn't spoilt in the trailers itself. Bloodshot garners some interest when it is revealed how the protagonist is deceived by Harting's simulation in taking down his enemies. Or why not use the ones they already have on hand, at the right moment.
There is no clear explanation as to what is the villain's endgame and why they didn't have a fail-safe backup when their subject goes rogue. What's not excusable is how lazy is the film's writing, execution and performances. It is actually fun to see Vin Diesel be one at least he has an excuse of why his character is alive after dodging bullets and falling off from great heights.
The problem with Bloodshot is not that the superhero's superpowers or story aren't anything new. Bloodshot: Vin Diesel Reveals How Difficult It Was Playing Ray Garrison’s Character for the Upcoming Film.
From what I can figure out here is that Vin Diesel's superhero is basically like Wolverine without the claws. Now I am not very well-versed about the Bloodshot lore, so I am clueless about how faithful is the movie adaption.
