Watch Video: 'Bloodshot' Trailer: Vin Diesel Is a Super Soldier Stuck on Repeat in Violent Comic Book Filmīut the sameness of Diesel’s hulking appeal is a problem when the movie around him can’t goose the entertainment level by reaching either for epic popcorn opera (the “Fast and Furious” movies) or hilarious steroid junk (that last WTF “XXX” movie). Diesel is still mostly cartoon brawn, a sight-gag slab with just enough winking to never quite bore, even if he also never quite excites. It’s not quite the same as Sean Connery holding on to his Scottish accent even when playing a Russian sub commander, a quirk that reeked of old-fashioned, stubborn star machismo.

(Except for all the other resurrected fighting machines that other comics, TV shows and movies have given us.) He’s Riddick, he’s Xander Cage, he’s Dominic, he’s even Groot, and now he’s hoping there’s room for his one-acting-style-fits-all brute charm to squeeze in Ray Garrison, an elite combat veteran killed in action, then rebooted by Guy Pearce’s tech magnate into a programmable, indestructible warrior, the first of his kind. Two gun shows in less than five minutes the action star is nothing if not economical about delivering what his audience wants.īut with this latest attempt to ignite a superhero universe, in this case adapted from a Valiant Comics series, Diesel seems to be stockpiling franchises like he’s at an all-you-can-eat buffet. “Bloodshot” has barely started when Vin Diesel’s crack soldier shoots a few bad guys in Mombasa, then unzips his military gear back at the base to reveal his regulation white-tank-friendly physique.
