Movie Review - Bloodshot
Nothing to see here. Move along.
That pretty much sums up Bloodshot. There's no point in seeing it unless you need your Vin Diesel fix, and you're depressed that F9 has been pushed back to April 2021 due to CoVid19.
Instead of braving the virus just to see this movie, then let me suggest binge watching the Riddick movies. We did it recently and were reminded just how rocking good they are. That last Riddick movie is highly rewatchable.
What's wrong with Bloodshot
The fundamental flaw is that Ray (Bloodshot) is like a terminator. It's cool to see him walk into a shower of bullets. But after he does it the first time you realize there's no drama. Of course, given the genre, you know Ray will ultimately prevail -- but let's have at least a little uncertainty.
For instance, if he recognizes that he's vulnerable and if he dies, then his wife will die as well...then it adds a little drama to the character. But nothing like that happens. It's like watching someone play a video game in god mode.
Pass.
