no3Ljm Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Based on the comic book, Vin Diesel stars as Ray Garrison, a soldier recently killed in action and brought back to life as the superhero Bloodshot by the RST corporation. With an army of nanotechnology in his veins, he’s an unstoppable force –stronger than ever and able to heal instantly. But in controlling his body, the company has sway over his mind and memories, too. Now, Ray doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not – but he’s on a mission to find out. Quote

Old_Nash Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I hear what Valiant try to build a VCU, starting with Bloodshot and another one (I bet in Shadowman). Quote

Atheonyirh Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 This looks like exactly the sort of crazy-dumb I find entertaining. Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Looks interesting. That being said, after seeing Vin Diesel in Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room almost 20 years ago I know he can act better. Quote
TehPW Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I did not believe you that there was more than 1 film made so I looked it up on wiki. I'm like... how did I not know about these entries? Then it clicked: When these came out, I had either deployed or stationed overseas at the time... even more amazing that SPR is 20 years old. Oddly, enough so is SRPs... Quote
Dynaman Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 When I looked it up and found six entries I was shocked. Although a number of them were TV movies - which is just where it belongs. As for this movie, I had forgotten Vin Diesel was still making movies to be honest. Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Back when Vin Diesel had 'hair' and before he went full action star. You never go full action star. Quote
Big s Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 So Bloodshot, then Ninjak. Well the one I really want is Quantum and Woody. Quote
sqidd Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Saw this yesterday. Went into not expecting more than a good ol 80's style action movie. And that's what I got. And it was fun. Turned my brain of end enjoyed. The photography/effects/sets were great IMO. The director (who did one of the Love And Robots things on Netflix) really did a great job with the visuals. The idea of using a truck full of XXXXX for the tunnel scene was quite brilliant. It gave a awesome effect and was completely plausible. The CGI was really good where it needed to be. You can tell in a few situations they had to work within a budget, but it's not bad. Oh yeah, in true 80's style two absolutely smokin hot co starts (no, not the other dudes). Certainly not hard to look at for the whole movie. And they even had the "plucky comedy relief" character and managed to do it without making them annoying (which is usually the case). It wasn't a huge budget blockbuster. I'd guess Deadpool 1 type budget (I didn't look it up). Hopefully they decide to do more like this. It could be a pretty good little franchise. Quote
