Bloodshot: Vin Diesel Superhero Movies Goes to VOD Next Week

In what is becoming a familiar refrain after Universal Pictures opened the floodgates on Monday, a relatively popular new release is heading directly to video-on-demand as the coronavirus crisis worsens. This time it is Vin Diesel’s superhero actioner, Bloodshot, that is breaking through the theatrical window like some kind of cybernetic super soldier. Sony and Columbia Pictures’ Bloodshot, which debuted in third place at the box office this past weekend, will make its VOD debut on March 24. This very reasonable move is being made after the film already suffered from the historically low moviegoing attendance of the past week.…

How the Bloodshot Cast Embodied Their Enhanced Characters

In the new superhero action film, Bloodshot, Vin Diesel plays Ray Garrison, a soldier who watches his wife die at the hands of brutal terrorists before he himself is killed—or so he thinks.

Why Bloodshot is Vin Diesel’s First Starring Superhero Role

With a number of successful film series on his resume – the Fast and Furious movies, the Riddick trilogy and even a couple of xXx entries — Vin Diesel is practically a franchise unto himself.

Until now. Diesel stars in Bloodshot, an action thriller based on the Valiant Comics title about a technologically enhanced super soldier who struggles to remember his past life and keep…

Bloodshot Review

“You don’t have to have a history to have a future,” Guy Pearce’s Dr. Emil Harting says to Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel), the titular hero of director David S.F. Wilson’s Bloodshot. Garrison is a soldier whose shattered body has been restored to life by Harting via microscopic robots called “nanites” that all but replaced Garrison’s blood.
