One must assume that while the world is at the mercy of a global pandemic and every other high profile film release on record is being delayed, the producers behind Vin Diesel's 'Bloodshot' simply decided to say "ahh the heck with it, just put the movie out and maybe we'll get a bump in market share."
What's the worst that can happen? The film opens poorly, just as everyone already suspected it would?
The problem with 'Bloodshot' is that there's nothing we haven't seen plenty of times before. Vin Diesel in a white tank top? Check. Man gets killed, brought back to life using cutting-edge technology making him stronger, faster, and more resilient? Check. Man uses newfound abilities to go on a revenge spree and avenge the murder of his wife? Check.
Perhaps we should be lauding Vin Diesel for getting paid millions of dollars to play the same character for twenty years. The only problem is that him doing so forces film critics like me to watch his movies. Ray, his character in 'Bloodshot,' isn't interesting at all-either before or after his transformation. It's just Vin with a different three letter name, like a dozen other characters he's played recently, featuring the same brooding look and tough-guy mannerisms.
Instead of going to the movie theater and potentially catching coronavirus-or worse, having to sit through 'Bloodshot'-stream some other similar (and better) flicks instead, such as 'Hardcore Henry' or 'Upgrade.'

Avoid Theaters to Minimize the Risk of Catching Coronavirus, or Worse, Seeing This Vin Diesel FlickReviewed byMetaflixVote: 3/10
Well made to be an easy watch but was heavily focused on the main character. Given it's sci fi I think it was a bit irritating that the two nerds were used as comic foils.
While at this point in time the technology shown in the movie is nowhere near ready, making what is carried out unrealistic, the premise of that could become is intriguing. Once again technology can be both good and bad. It depends entirely on who uses it.
The movie - a mix of action & sci-fi - is a generic Vin Diesel action flick. Not that is a bad thing. If you like these types of movies and/or a Vin Diesel fan, then you won't come away disappointed.
And while parts of the movie was utterly predictable, it was still enjoyable to watch. And that little bit of twist in the story line is a nice touch.
But overall, anyone familiar with Vin Diesel movies, will know what's coming and will find this movie entertaining.
