Bloodshot (film)

Bloodshot is a 2020 American superhero film directed by David S. F. Wilson and written by Jeff Wadlow and Eric Heisserer. It is based on the comic book character and stars Vin Diesel as Ray Garrison, a soldier who is killed in action and subsequently revived with advanced nanotechnology, granting him superhuman abilities. The supporting cast includes Eiza González, Sam Heughan, Toby Kebbell, Lamorne Morris, and Guy Pearce. The narrative follows Garrison as he seeks to uncover the truth behind his resurrection while being manipulated by the organization that created him.

The film premiered at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, 2020, and was released theatrically in the United States on March 13 by Sony Pictures Releasing. Its release coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to widespread theater closures; the film was made available on video on demand less than two weeks later. Bloodshot grossed approximately $37.3 million worldwide against a production budget of $45 million and received generally negative reviews from critics, with praise for its visual effects and action sequences but criticism directed at Diesel’s performance and the film’s narrative.
