Blood is Vin Diesel's best car

One of the most interesting things about Vin Diesel is his apparent belief that his salad days are not behind him. In the early 2000s, he was on top of the world, a major action star with him Fast & Furious and XXX. His finances have changed, but he hasn't changed. Chronicles of zombies Flopped, but years later, he made another zombie movie. He left them both Fast and Fast and XXX series, then returned to them. (What was a reboot was much more successful than the last.) He seemed like the MCU's most complicated personality, but he is just as reliable a base for Golf Guards as Groot's voice. Last Witch Hunter I didn't do great business, but a The sequence is in the works

however.

It's entirely possible that his new movie Blood it will also work, and that he will be running after five years from now. Diesel's divisive body and humorous voice commemorates the past of the action stars, and he seems to be drifting along the path of Sylvester Stallone in particular, aligning his young senses with as many layers as possible.

Blood itself is not particularly different from the Stallone car, however. It's like something from Diesel's first big run at stardom, if he had co-hosted Tony Scott and made him adapt the video game in 2003 or so. This movie does not come from a video game, but director David S.F. Wilson has worked on that world, and his first feature has a nutritional retreat built into his mind. Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel) is a nasty kind of soldier who comes home from a top-secret who has a new scar, and nice words to his loving wife Gina (Talulah Riley). He is the kind of guy whose loving wife has failed, because his enemies instantly add a touch of magic to him while he presses a hit on the Talking Heads song. (Guess which one!)

In other words, Ray is a character in an action movie. (And, given his constant anointing of Gina, a sort of Life Guy, too.) This is especially evident when he awakens from his apparent death when his memory is erased. He was greeted by a scientist (Guy Pearce) who explains that his blood was replaced by nanites, giving him Wolverine-like powers of regeneration. He was introduced to his fellow soldiers, who also had Tony Stark-level technology embedded in their bodies. (Blood based on Valiant comics; there is nothing as famous as the Marvel B-lister.)

Ray initially has the ambition of becoming a de facto super hero, even committing himself to KT (Eiza González), who is very sympathetic to the super -osha group. When you find the flash of his painful memory, he tries to avenge himself on the parties responsible for Gina's death. But as a trailer for Blood

revealed, this may not be easy, the daily case of a soldier being brought back from the dead and given great power to avenge his deceased partner. There is a cross in the middle Initiation and Memento afoot. (So, perhaps, is Pearce's presence.) And if Ray's background and motives seem strange, and his enemy's dance track feels paralyzed, it's probably because his action is being recorded. The movie is entertaining about the idea, as the characters are allowed to complain about clichés, and with one ("you are an unintentional freak," one of the paramilitary soldiers talking about a new driven colleague), which makes it possible for Gina to literally die inside a refrigerator for a meta-related adjective comedy trope.

All of this is a little clever. Not at all too much he is smart, but a bit, and as a fun act, it takes time to do that. Blood it is just as compelling as Vin Diesel's final star script. Ray gets caught up in the never-ending movie-movie cycle with a heap of sweet treats, which are a big part of a few Diesel Fries. His strong, love-based but seemingly irresistible KT accentuates the lack of simple chemistry in favor of many of his onscreen love interests (and postmodern stoicism. He also gets the first line to admit that money can be taken decades as a star of action: "The body can't to do this for ever. "

Diesel looks like he's trying, (It probably helps to put CG in some of his big fonts.) Blood it has a visual theme, it is about expressing independence, something Diesel always misses when choosing zombies or hunting witches over an absurd, long-lasting project. It's a shame then that this movie doesn't go completely with its nanites, proven facts, and memories made of it. It happens a little bit more than that: The sweet cuts during various battles just rise up to the level of encounter, but never reach any kind of visual or poetic figure.

Lamorne Morris is about to make a vintage comic relief of the 1990s as an English gangster called Wilfred Wigans, but sometimes he lives alone with other actors. The movie looks a lot like a Tony Scott lost project, but not good enough – the style is not as spectacular. Most of its funny faith comes from Diesel. She has been given many better jobs, but here she is more convinced in the role of someone who officially believes that there is nothing she can do.

Blood opens with a wide release on March 13.
