It wants to be a mind-fuck but it’s not remotely clever enough to mess with you in the way it wants to (and also it gives away all of its supposed secrets in the trailer). It absolutely lacks any moral center, which is what drives Captain America. It doesn’t work on multiple levels like The Matrix does it barely works on its sole unironic level. Bloodshot doesn’t understand the poignancy of Robocop, and it lacks any hint of the potent satire that keeps that movie still relevant 33 years later. If you took a bunch of surface-cool stuff from Robocop (the 1987 original, not the recent terrible remake) and The Matrix, with a bit of Captain America thrown in, and mushed it up without understanding what made those movies and those characters so powerful, this is what you might end up with. The science place, where they do the science.

If this is the last film I get to see in a cinema for the next 18 months, I’m gonna pissed.īecause Bloodshot is deeply terrible.

The last movie I saw on a big screen before the world hit a big ol’ Pause button in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic was Bloodshot.
