Bloodshot

On one side you have the fanboys who would lick the sweat from his armpits rating this a ten, and the I hate Vin Diesel crowd (who probably didn't bother to watch the movie) giving one star reviews. Despite it's flaws this is an entertaining, slickly produced, mindless sci-fi/action film. Vin Diesel knows what he's good at and he does it pretty well, if you're expecting something else that's your fault.

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.

"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"

The story is quite basic, the characters are what you would expect them to be and they perfectly deliver what they are supposed to deliver.

What stood out most for me in this film was the colouring of the shots at times. It used very vivid and light colors, which worked amazingly with some of the darker borders and backgrounds.

Overall a movie you should definitely pick up if you're not into deep storytelling or emotional scenes, but more a fan of action, heroic stories, etc. etc.

First of all I have to mention, that I saw the trailer before I saw the movie. Basically I knew exactly what would happen because the trailer spoiled the whole plot. So thank you for that.

They prise the fact that the film is produced by the same people who produced the Fast and Furious series. That should tell enough about that movie:

Lots of action, bad story and full of stereotypes.

Enjoy that one at home, on an evening where you have nothing better to do.
