Only when Diesel gets mad at Guy Pearce's CEO-scientist does he hit the right note.Īnd yet, Eiza Gonzalez makes the best of her role as an augmented diver who apparently can't wear anything that is less than skin-tight. This story needs an action star who can also convey confusion, vulnerability - you know, acting. It does not help that a lot of the ADR (automated dialogue replacement ) is slapped on in a way only a few voices feel attached to the actors.Īnd it has to be asked - is Diesel the right man for the role? The earlier set piece - and if you love flour-based action bathed in red light, then Bloodshot is your film - is realised to a level you suspect the director has had it in mind for some time. Its big action scene is so rubbery, you'd think it was from 20 years ago.

It would not be so bad, but it cashes cheques the CGI can't cash.

The foot comes off the accelerator so much that the big finale feels slight. There are interesting ideas in here but they are wrapped in a film that does not know where to go after its first big reveal, and makes fun of some cliches while keeping plenty of others.
