However, it's not Vin that can be entirely blamed for Bloodshot! It's the atrocious 'no rhyme or reason' screenplay that makes the film crumble from the get-go.
His over the top British accent never feels unwarranted and it's he who manages to make Vin's presence more comfortable during their brief witty sequences. The real shining star or I could say saving grace comes in New Girl fame Lamorne Morris as tech genius Wilfred Wigans, who provides the funny moments aplenty.
You end up feeling remorseful for Guy and Eiza, who excel in their roles, no matter how cliched their story arcs are. His ability to grasp action scenes with finesse is parallel to his stoic dialogue delivery, which leaves you rolling your eyes rather than feel empathetic to a terribly wronged character. With Bloodshot, Vin tries his damnest to give us a character with varying degrees of emotions but the focus is still very much on Diesel's machoism one-man army personality. The same goes for Martin Axe (Toby Kebbell). Along with Ray, we have KT (Eiza González), who brings in the much need feminine aspect to what would have been an all-boys club and packs a mean punch while Jimmy Dalton (Sam Heughan) is all muscle with zero talk. What was once an honourable army guy has been transformed into a killing machine with only one thing on his mind - revenge against the man who killed his wife. Emil Harting (Guy Pearce), using nanotechnology, which makes him superhuman with millions of nanites literally becoming his blood. Vin Diesel has all the chemicals needed to create the perfectly built superhero - with his strenuous brawn and robotic-like personality (or at least when it comes to his acting!) While Bloodshot's origin story is intriguing when heard for the first time, it's the poorly penned screenplay by Jeff Wadlow and Eric Heisserer that dampens the mood considerably!įor the unversed, Bloodshot sees Marine Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel) being brought back to life by the manipulative genius Dr. DC Extended Universe, another steady contender comes with Valiant Comics-inspired Bloodshot. Superhero movies are to Hollywood, what biopics are to Bollywood! Between the race of Marvel Cinematic Universe vs.
