After he is murdered, marine Ray Garrison is resurrected by a team of scientists.
Enhanced with nanotechnology, he becomes a superhuman, biotech killing machine-'Bloodshot'. As Ray first trains with fellow super-soldiers, he cannot recall anything from his former life.
But when his memories flood back and he remembers the man that killed both him and his wife, he breaks out of the facility to get revenge, only to discover that there's more to the conspiracy than he thought......
No matter how good the films are, I fear that Vin has headed for the domain when the only films that feature him that are successful, have the words Fast, and Furious in the title. He has never been a leading man that films have made a lot of money, and I fear that he is still living in that time when XXX and Pitch Black where successful, along with his car films. Hence the sequels.
And it's a shame. Because whilst his acting is questionable in most of his films, he has undoubted swagger and star power.
Much like this film. Wherever the source material came from, Bloodshot is a comic book film, and it's a pretty good one to be fair.
Something happens to our man Vin, and he has nano items for blood, and good old Guy Pearce programmes his brain to make him kill people thinking that they destroyed his life. And each time, Vin becomes a little savvy as to what is going on.
My main gripe with the film is that it feels like someone keeps rewinding the film to a certain point, and then it picks up again, and again, and again.
But it's a lot of fun. Vin, like I said, has star power, but he is so one dimensional, that you could actually think that he was a special effect of the film, which ironically, are great.
Each of his 'fallen' comrades in the centre, are like end of level bad guys, and that's just how the film plays them, as end of level bad guys, as Vin has a sequence with each one of them, Ala Mortal Kombat, until he gets to the final bad guy.
For a random Saturday night film, its great with a few beers and a few nibbles, the sort of film you could talk through and not miss much, but has set pieces that will make you stop what you are doing and pay attention.
It's not rubbish by any means, but it's totally forgettable.
