In the end, though, Bloodshot is lacking some movie magic (and, perhaps, the right lead actor) that could've pulled it all together to be more than the sum of its parts.Īs such, Bloodshot is worth seeing in theaters for those already intrigued by the premise and dedicated fans of the superhero movie genre. It offers enough newness to stand apart from other superhero films and may even become some viewers' favorite comic book movie - or, at least, their new favorite origin story film. There is some exceptionally awkward and poorly done CGI in the third act, but even that is par for the course of modern superhero movies. But in the scope of the larger comic book adaptation category, Bloodshot is still a rather middling superhero movie. It's a solidly exciting adventure, delivering some visually interesting action spectacle, a surprising twist and some fun comedy. It offers up some new ideas that bring enough freshness to this superhero movie to make it stand out from the many, many - many - origin story films that have been released at this point.
González and Pearce are similarly compelling, bringing the emotional depth Diesel's Ray lacks, and even Heughan's Jimmy Dalton is an entertaining douchebag.īloodshot is an entertaining superhero blockbuster, even if it's a little uneven and clunky at times. It's a shame because Diesel is surrounded by a talented supporting cast, with Morris being a complete scene-stealer as the hilarious Wilfred. So while Bloodshot attempts to undermine superhero conventions, the movie is ultimately held back by Diesel's performance and works better when it slides back into the action spectacle, which is what Diesel does best. In the moments when the script does try to dig deeper into Ray's character, Diesel comes off as clunky, failing to connect to the more emotional moments. The story and twist in Bloodshot necessitate a deft acting hand, and while Diesel's characteristic machismo is effective in establishing Ray Garrison as a brawny action hero, the actor's performance doesn't bring any depth to the role. Much of the unevenness in Bloodshot arises from Diesel's performance, which walks the line between intentional action hero stoicism and unintentionally wooden.
