Review of Bloodshot (2020) by Moviemitch96 — 14 Mar 2020

It's a dumb and loud Vin Diesel flick, so I wasn't expecting much beyond a good laugh with some ridiculous and over-the-top action scenes and dialogue. Diesel plays a deceased soldier brought back to life, in true RoboCop fashion, through nanotechnology that instantly can heal any wounds he sustains.

He then sets out for revenge on the man who killed both him and his wife, but finds that the company responsible for bringing him back to life is altering and manipulating his memories, and he must uncover the truth.

I honestly found myself more underwhelmed than expected by this one. The story's a mess and it took itself far too seriously compared to most of Diesel's other films, it didn't have a whole lot of heart or fun to it, and Diesel's just playing himself like he always does.

Granted, there are some cool ideas thrown around throughout, but none of them really make up for an uninspired and lackluster script. Overall, one of Diesel's more disposable and forgettable films, which is disappointing to me, cause usually most of his films are at least stupid enough to be funny and mildly entertaining.

This one was just too serious for its own good that it drained it of any potential fun.
