What happens

Bloodshot is a 2020 American superhero film starring Vin Diesel. Based on the Valiant Comics character Bloodshot, it follows a soldier who was killed in action, only to be brought back to life with superpowers by an organization that wants to use him as a weapon. The film was directed by David S. F. Wilson and written by Jeff Wadlow and Eric Heisserer.Eiza González, Sam Heughan, Toby Kebbell, Lamorne Morris, and Guy Pearce appear in supporting roles. It is intended to be the first installment in a series of films set within a Valiant Comics shared cinematic universe. Bloodshot premiered at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, Los Angeles on March 10, 2020, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 13, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The weekend of its release coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when societal restrictions and regulations led to mass theater closures around the world. The film grossed $37.3 million worldwide, but due to the theater closures, Sony made the film available on video on demand less than two weeks after it was released theatrically. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism for Diesel's performance, but praise for the action sequences and the visual effects. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
