As Ray first trains with fellow super-soldiers, he cannot recall anything from his former life. But when his memories flood back and he remembers the man that killed both him and his wife, he breaks out of the facility to get revenge, only to discover that there's more to the conspiracy than he thought.

This plot - bad people mess with the wrong badass and get their comeuppance - has only been done about 14,000 times before. But there's a reason for that - when done well, it still entertains.

Bloodshot is done pretty well. Vin Diesel is in fine badass form, and I was surprised at how much money was spent on the SFX, which is impressive.

Overall, as a mindless popcorn movie, it entertained me. Sadly, thanks to CV19, that appears to be all she wrote for it.
