Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Worst Danny Dyer file bar none. The female lead cannot act. Godawful file. Stick to gangster films and Eastenders Danny boy.

You know you're scraping the very depths of the Amazon Prime barrel if you subject yourself to nearly 2 hours of this drivel.I have seen worse acting, but only in films starring Ryan Gosling.The direction feels like it was done by a 2nd year film student who scammed a $50k budget from some demented Auntie & borrowed the Uni's equipment to bang it all together over a long weekend...& yet he's been making stuff since the 70's!!! Truly, God awfully terrible.Trust me....don't do it...I've suffered enough for all of us.

BLOODSHOT is an intense, would-be psychological thriller along the lines of the FATAL ATTRACTIONs of old. It's a low budget British romp, set and filmed in London, and it features a maverick special effects technician (played in his customary style by Danny Dyer) who rescues a confused young woman on the street and takes her back to his place. She ends up living with him, and a blossoming romance develops between the pair...Much of BLOODSHOT consists of scenes which go nowhere only to develop the slowest-moving narrative either. There are lots of horror elements in the script, from Dyer's ultra-gory work as a SFX guy to some absolutely ludicrous nightmare sequences that look like they belong in a cheap Jess Franco movie, but in terms of actual plotting and incident little happens. The scriptwriter is content to keep you guessing, building up to what I hoped would be a huge pay-off at the climax.Except that pay-off never happens; the story just fizzles away, leaving this a film as a whole where nothing happens. It's almost entirely without merit; the technical values are reasonable, but the acting is pretty diabolical. Dyer is his usual self but it's Zoe Grisedale who comes off the worst, looking completely out of her depth in such a demanding role. A couple of British film regulars appear here and there (Craig Conway and Keith Allen) but they add little to what is in essence a non-starter of a film.

As much as I love danny dyer ,I never had him pegged for a romantic type , that's all he is in this movie . at first I thought he was a murderer and judging by the cover of the DVD that's also what it implied.Sadly the film didn't really make any sort of sense at all, with the scene where she was a demon slashing him up ,along with the flashback of her again towards the end what has that got to do with anything. The ending was extremely poor a shot focused on her eyes ..again pointless.Some of the story tied together ,other parts didn't . it would have been more believable as a romantic drama .. Because that was far from a horror ...I strongly disagree with a sequel if one is considered.. But people can watch at their own risk.
