A lively and amiably stupid action movie, given an extra dose of atmosphere by the presence of Vin Diesel.

Full reviewRelies on heavy dollops of CGI that would've looked cut-rate even in the early '90s...
Full reviewVin Diesel is dependable, if not especially challenged by a film that has most fun in the margins.
Full reviewOverall, Bloodshot... scores on its ambitious sci-fi imagination and a superhero, who is always ready for action.

Full reviewThe ideas that drive Bloodshot could have been pushed a lot further. The film almost gets into Inception-style territory, only to pull back when it was threatening to be quite interesting. But, as an old-school actioner, that reminded me occasionally of the genre's golden age, you could do worse than this comic book spin-off.
