The Plot…

Ray Garrison (Diesel) is an elite US Marine.  Shortly after a successful mission, Garrison and his wife go on vacation.  In short order they are kidnapped by a terrorists led by Martin Axe (Kebbell).  Garrison refuses or is unable to provide the information Axe wants.  Axe then executes Garrison’s wife and kills Garrison.

Or so he thinks.

Garrison wakes up in a laboratory.  Although Garrison was dead, he’s been resurrected by Dr. Emil Harting (Pearce). Experimental nanorobotics have replaced Garrison’s blood.  He’s now super strong and almost instant healing powers.  Harting thinks he has created a super soldier to do his bidding.

Garrison has plans of his own…

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Based on the popular Valiant comic series.

Lamorne Morris, an American, plays a Brit. Toby Kebbell is British plays an Australian. Guy Pearce is Australian plays an American.

I thought I would like Bloodshot more.
