OFFICIAL bloodshot (2017) Movie thread Bloodshot only 0

And the Bloodshot Vol. 1 #1 on the desk in the credits was a nice touch.

There's a slightly different ending in the movie novelization... but it's probably too early for spoiler talk, right?

Waking up and reflecting on this film, I'm not sure why critics came down extreme hard on Bloodshot. 30% positive is crazy when you consider in advance you knew what was coming with the film to begin with being wild action, sci-fi influences, Vin Diesel and the first film out of the gate for the director.

I own Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick and The Last Witch Hunter. I very much appreciate the characters Vin Diesel portrays in these films, and don't expect some deep, intense lines from him in any of these films. Just a loner, super-skilled fighter that delivers some wild dialogue while kicking villain butt throughout. At least with the verified audience score, it rates much higher and 4.07/5 overall.

'The Dance' made it onto Youtube.

Not bad. Pays homage to the classic:

Spoiler

Just about everything in that scene is a reference to an older movie.  Harting even comments to Eric (the technician) that it was ridiculous how many movie cliches he was ripping off. 

In addition to Reservoir Dogs (mentioned above), that scene is likely inspired from (earlier) Clockwork Orange "Singing In The Rain" silly dance right before extreme violence... probably some other movie references (the shoes, coat, etc.).

Just the look on Vin Diesel's face in that scene is worth it.

[valiantman]

In addition to maybe becoming a "Cult Classic", Bloodshot might end up being the first ever "COVID Classic" film for when society just needs to escape to the movies. 

The dance scene is the first "Music CoVideo"? 

We're all locked in our houses, it's time to put MUSIC back on MTV!

I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the movie is pretty fun to try to catch all the references to other movies as you watch it.

The family watched it tonight. Pretty good. If you want a fun action movie, it's worth the $20.

[Hawkman]

Does anyone know a site to rent it? It's buyable, but for $20. I'd like to watch it, but trying to pay no more than $5

Wait two months. It should be available for a normal streaming / rental price of $4-$6.

This is a solid download to take advantage of.
