Bloodshot
Bloodshot is a sci-fi action film based on a comic book series of the same name.
Starring Vin Diesel in the leading role as Ray Garrison, a US marine who is murdered and subsequently resurrected by Rising Spirit Tech (RST). Upon his resurrection, Garrison is informed by the head of RST, Dr Emil Harting (Guy Pierce), that he has cybernetically enhanced with nanotech. What ensues is an action-packed game of search and destroy as Garrison is given target after target to eliminate, but not everything is as cut and dry as it seems.
Overall this film is rather predictable and cliché, but somehow still incredibly fun. Perhaps thanks to the over-the-top, CGI heavy, video game-inspired nature of the action sequences and storytelling. Simply switch your brain off, grab a bunch of snacks and enjoy the wild ride.
Perfect for an evening stuck at home during isolation!
