Vin Diesel stars alongside Guy Pearce as a virtually unstoppable tech-enhanced soldier struggling to access traumatic buried memories in David S. F. Wilson’s superhero origin story 'Bloodshot.' Read the film review:

, Vin Diesel adds a new hero to his collection of wisecracking rebels, after notable turns as a street racer, intergalactic raider and deep space fugitive, among a series of other memorable roles. A muscular actioner with enough explosions, shoot-outs and beat downs to satisfy the young male audiences typically drawn to Diesel’s material, Sony Pictures’ feature should benefit from release in the immersive ICE cinema format.

He’s revived in a high-tech lab by nefarious scientist Dr. Emil Harting , CEO of Rising Spirit Technology, who reveals that Garrison is now a super-soldier endowed with incredible strength and agility: Bloodshot. Harting has replaced Garrison’s bloodstream with millions of miniaturized nano-tech bots known as nanites, transforming him with the ability to heal from injuries almost instantly and to connect directly with online networks.

Diesel tackles this unremarkable storyline with his usual gusto, grunting and flexing his way through successively more intense action scenes. In keeping with his frequently taciturn characters, he doesn’t have much to say, but he kicks a lot of ass, particularly in a couple of impressive set pieces that see him taking out a variety of heavily armed or technologically enhanced baddies.
