This is a supremely silly Diesel vehicle, allowing the earnest action star to deliver lines like 'You used me. But are those memories even his, and what larger purpose are they serving? You know how they say trauma is stored in the body? Ray's trauma still lives somewhere in his cells, even after he's Frankensteined back to life by the charming technologist Dr. But his all-too-human memories of murder and mayhem mean he's hell-bent on revenge. With a bloodstream full of microscopic machinated mites to rebuild his body in combat, Ray is RoboCop with the self-regenerating power of the T-1000. Before you can wonder just who the heck this guy is, Ray wakes up in a lab, where a doctor with a robot arm (Guy Pearce) tells him he's been brought back to life as a technologically enhanced super soldier.

Before long they're picked up by some 'psycho killer' (Toby Kebbell) who menacingly dances to the Talking Heads in a meat locker while demanding to know some information about Ray's mission. After a violent hostage extraction in Kenya, special ops soldier Ray Garrison (Diesel) retires to the Amalfi Coast for some R&R with a comely blond, Gina (Talulah Riley), apparently his wife. 'Bloodshot' begins in a very expected way for this kind of thing. He can also be a generic action star with a gravelly voice and a contract that requires him to be in a tank top for at least 70% of the movie.Īnd so arrives the obligatory 'Bloodshot,' an adaptation of the Valiant Comics character of the same name, directed by video-game auteur David S.F.

He'll throw in an 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' or a 'The Last Witch Hunter' to remind us all he's more than Groot or Dom Toretto. Every few years, Vin Diesel likes to remind audiences that he does do movies that are not of the fast and furious or alien tree variety.
