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.

"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"

I don't get all the hate. It's a great action flick. Unrealistic, yeah definitely, but if I want something social-critic I would watch other stuff.

Give it a chance, much better than everybody is crying around here.

I watched the first 5 minutes of this movie and turned it off. It was that corny.

Then I forgot that I'd done that and, stuck for something dumb to watch on a a day off sick, I spun this up again.

The movie resumed at the five minute mark and I thought what the hell. At least I don't have to watch the start again, and settled in as i was bathed in cheesy screenwriting and even sketchier acting.

Then came the reveal and I've gotta say I was delighted. The kinetic set pieces were tight and engaging and the CGI was on point. Guy Pierce pitched his bad guy perfectly against Ray's would-be villains. Ray and his supporting characters weren't deep, but they certainly weren't flat and decent acting and direction of the main cast more than made up for some of the peripheral duds.

This movie is straight-up comic-book fare, so if you come to this movie hoping for a sophisticated narrative, you'll just wind up annoying those of your friends who pegged it from the start for the lurid action-fest it is. It's certainly no Bourne Identity, but it punches way higher than the most of the critics would boorishly suggest.

Would watch again. 7/10

It works on a basic level of action spectacle, but really doesn't offer anything in the story department that we haven't come to know with these revenge anti hero films. Vin Diesel is as standard as he usually is and doesn't make the character interesting either. I'll just sum it up and say this is just a throwaway action film with some cool sequences but overall you will feel like you've seen it already.
