Bloodshot

I never saw the trailers, neither did I knew this was based on a comic-book. I just wanted to see a good action movie with Vin Diesel in it. I did not had my exceptions very high, but boy did it even went far beyond that.

This is your run of the mill action movie, even the action seems are uninspired, there is no redeeming quality about this movie, it was very generic and boring. Add that with wooden performances and the script was a total mess, it could be written by any Kid, it was that generic.

This movie does not stand out in any way from the other superhero action movies, it does nothing that distinguishes itself, neither does it do a good job in what it's trying to achieve, just random things happening here and there and you stop caring midway through.

I would say avoid seeing this one, not worth watching in the cinema at all or in general.

"Bloodshot" is a poor collection of "Universal Soldier", "Robcop", "Matrix" and 'Memento", among other films, that do not work well. The plot is absolutely predictable and it is possible to the viewer to foresee the story. Despite of the clichés, the viewer that is fan of Vin Diesel will certainly find the movie entertaining. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Bloodshot"

Right, well I had the chance to sit down and watch the 2020 movie "Bloodshot" from director Dave Wilson. I had never heard about this movie prior to getting to sit down and watch it.

I must admit that right away I wasn't having much of any expectations to the movie, as it starred Vin Diesel. And I am not overly much of a fan of his, as his performances in movies tends to be very monotonous and tedious. But still, I do like watching movies that I haven't seen before, so I took the time to watch "Bloodshot".

While the movie definitely is crammed with action and impressive effects, then I will say that the script and storyline was quite far fetched. Sure, it was entertaining, as it is a movie, but the realism in the script was long gone. Which essentially meant that this turned out to be an action movie where you just disconnect your brain and lean back to watch the action and CGI effects.

If you have seen one movie with Vin Diesel, then you know what you get in "Bloodshot" as well, because the performance here didn't deviate one ounce from what you get in other movies. While that was monotonous, most of the movie was actually made bearable by the performance of Guy Pearce, as he was just fantastic in his role.

"Bloodshot" is an entertaining enough movie for what it turned out to be, but this is hardly an outstanding action movie. And I doubt that I will ever make a second viewing of this 2020 movie.

My rating of "Bloodshot" settles on a very mediocre five out of ten stars.

It works on a basic level of action spectacle, but really doesn't offer anything in the story department that we haven't come to know with these revenge anti hero films. Vin Diesel is as standard as he usually is and doesn't make the character interesting either. I'll just sum it up and say this is just a throwaway action film with some cool sequences but overall you will feel like you've seen it already.

I just got out of Bloodshot

I didn't like it, but I wouldn't say I hated it. It is a very silly film that is seemingly aware (At least I hope it is) of how silly it is. It's pretty tame violence and blood wise, it's pretty much all in the trailers which is disappointing.

It's full of cliche's, it's action is routine and the effects whilst not bad, are not mind blowing either, there isn't much humour, but I have to say it is hard to hate a film that includes a dick joke which takes 20 minutes to pay off.

Of the cast Vin Diesel is a bit bland and Guy Pierce is hamming it up but Eliza González was joy as KT

It features two things I hate in movies, people eating noisily (when they'd never really eat at that moment) and when you see the back of someone's head (Vin Diesel for example) whilst he is talking, but what you can see of the side of his face, clearly does not match what he is saying.

There were 16 other people in my screening. They were mostly 20 or younger and spent a lot of time on their phones. Someone was even checking Facebook during a chase scene.
