'You don't need a history to have a future'

The Valiant comic book of Kevin VanHook comes to life via the screenplay by Jeff Wadlow and Eric Heisserer and the direction of Dave Wilson and the result is one creative and entertaining bizarre glance at the possibilities of nanotechnology.

Quite briefly, 'Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel), an elite soldier who was killed in battle, is brought back to life as Bloodshot by an advanced technology (RST) that gives him the ability of super human strength and fast healing. With his new abilities, he goes after the man who killed his wife, or at least, who he believes killed his wife. He soon comes to learn that not everything he learns can be trusted. The true question is: Can he even trust himself?' The solid cast includes RST creator Dr, Emil Haring (Guy Pearce) and his sidekick tech Eric (Siddharth Dhananjay), their 're-creations' KT (Eiza González) and Jimmy Dalton (Sam Heughan of Outlander fame), the strange and hilarious Wilfred Wigans (Lamorne Morris), among others. Vin Diesel is full-court press as Bloodshot, occupying the role completely, and the supporting cast is excellent. The real 'star' of this film is the special effects team; they have created wonders! For escapist entertainment, BLOODSHOT satisfies!
