Bloodshot (2020) - 3/5

This is a solid action movie with a more intelligent premise than it at first appears to have. It has a few really great, showy action scenes, a few decent action scenes, and one CGI-heavy action scene that’s not done as well as it probably should have been. Even though the plot takes several deviations from the average action film, it’s ultimately a one-and-done spring crowd-pleaser, and it lives or dies on the audience’s affinity for Vin Diesel.

Closest comparison: It’s like Memento by way of The Last Witch Hunter (2015).

Setting: Near Future Sci-Fi
Plot: Revenge Action
Tone: Spectacle Action
