1. What’s the story?

Short story = Universal soldier + Wolverine — tension.

Long story = So basically there is a soldier Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel), who sees his wife being killed in front of him and gets killed too…for a very short time because Vin Diesel never dies. Ray is resurrected by a technology genius Dr. Emil Harting (Guy Pearce) — don’t ask how. After Ray wakes up, he realises that his body heals itself /regenerates (because nanotechnology and shit) and then he goes into a killing spree to get some sweet tasting revenge. Not all is as it looks in the beginning, and Ray starts to find that out piece by piece. Ok that sounded too interesting — he actually finds that out in one piece, so yeah, not the most interesting way.

“Bloodshot” also has 3 other characters , who are similarly enhanced with some nano-shit, because the movie needed 3 more characters. There is not really much to say about them — no backstory nor motives were offered. One of them was a nice looking underdeveloped female character(Eiza González).
