Synopsis: Ray Garrison (Diesel) has seen his wife die and was himself executed by the same killer. He is revived, infused with nanobots that give him super-strength and instant healing abilities. But is the Dr. Emil Harting (Pearce) who revived him telling all the truth?
Review: Bloodshot is all you would expect from such Action Blockbuster. An indestructible Vin Diesel kicking ass, enhanced bad guys, nice visuals, car chases, explosions. I was not disappointed on those aspects.
The tech in the movie doesn't make much sense: flying nanobots, how to recharge, how they all hack one another... but that's acceptable. The fight scenes, often in slow motion a-la-300 are nice but a bit repetitive. More annoying is how Garrison doesn't even try avoiding the bullet hits and explosions. OK he can regenerate but would wouldn't it be more efficient to save his juice a bit?
You definitely won't get bored during the movie, but don't look for too much depth. If you're OK with that, enjoy!
Rating: 5 /10
