A little farther along Blood, everything clicks. Until that point, i new Vin Diesel combined is a standard science fiction action novel about a resurrected soldier and follows a man who not only kills, but is his wife. After that the story changes and like the last piece of the puzzle, you go back, look at everything together and say, "Wow, this is way better than I thought."
Directed by Dave Wilson in his first film gig (previously worked on shows), Blood it is adaptation of the first action movie actor for Valiant Comics. Diesel stars as Ray Garrison, a previously described soldier who finds himself resurrected thanks to Dr. Emil Harting (Guy Pearce). Harting takes wounded soldiers and makes them more grateful for technological advancements but Ray—codename Bloodshot– It's her Mona Lisa. He injected Ray's blood with microscopic, imaging machines called nanites that repair its body and connect it to the Internet. You're like Wolverine, via wifi. And although Ray does not immediately remember how he was killed, when he does, he has a deadly temper, desiring revenge against Martin Ax (Toby Kebbell), the man who killed him and his wife Gina (Westworld & # 39; s Talulah Riley).
But, again, that's just how it starts. If you know Blood jokes you can probably guess what happens next & # 39;you are right in line with the basic storyline of the character. If you don't know the jokes, I won't ruin it. Suffice it to say, everything happens easily to Ray and finally, he discovers that not everything is as it seems. It's there Blood He goes inside. It's a weird superhero movie where the audience doesn't know all the answers. We think we do, as Ray did, but too often, the film plays against expectations or completely undermines it. As a result, Blood it keeps its audience on its toes and helps us keep in mind this super confused solider just trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
All right. You have it others an idea of what's going on. Blood will hit the bad guys. It's just that, who, exactly, the bad guys and what, in fact, they want, is a fun witch. And that secret allows screenwriters Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) and Eric Heisserer (Arrival) lots of fun. Suddenly, because we don't know what's real, what's not, what's true, anything lies, things that might have been dismissed as cliché suddenly have a purpose. Events that looked too small are meant to be that way. The seemingly bad story is shot to the heart by the edge of self-perception, which eases some of the nitpicky issues such as logic or lack of context. Blood it becomes a comic book movie that knows it's a comedy movie but doesn't act like it.
As Ray, Vin Diesel shows a much wider range than we expect from a character. Ray is in pain. You can be confused. And Diesel shows that in his work when he needs it. Behind him though, size most dresses window, with the exception of Eiza González (From Evening to Dawn: Series) as another improvised soldier called K.T. and Lamorne Morris (New girl) as a technologist called the Wigans. Each adds just enough of Ray's playful atmosphere to keep the story going.
For the first director, Wilson made a sharp selection of visual effects throughout. There is a full-on action scene using flour (yes, of course) and lit with red flags. The other incident is almost entirely incidental to the notion of heat. Some of the best CGIs show that Ray's nanites can improve and repair his body, and the film builds on a very high-quality hand clip, you can't help but cry in laughter.
Once you've noticed what Blood active, however, they do not go beyond that. While Ray and the audience seek the truth, Blood it looks good to hold. There is no really clear picture of everything that happened to Ray and his past. There are many questions that can be answered. And maybe that was done on purpose in the order in which they may be, but it retains a bit of the film's goodwill it gained by its twists and turns.
Anyway, in season Blood it can be young and frustrating, exciting and amazing. The film has a strong, well-told story, with great revelation and action scenes throughout. Good enough to be Valiant & # 39; s The iron man? We do not know. But, without a doubt, a powerful effort has worked well and hopefully more will come.
Blood opens Friday.
