He's truly living his Hollywood career a quarter of a mile at a time, and it's not exactly a good thing. But Diesel likes to churn out these far-less-than-solid action blasts between his moneymaker franchise. It's a horrendous attempt at adapting a comic book character that probably didn't deserve the cinematic treatment. "Bloodshot" isn't going to help change the tide either. He's more known these days for oddly inspirational Facebook videos, a new dad-type bod that hasn't caused a change in film wardrobe, and a feud with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Over the past five years, Diesel has offered the film world five different Marvel films where he utters around three words, and a subpar F&F entry.
Caruso for a sequel to 2001's "xXx" called "xXx: Xander Cage." The film recouped less than half of its $88 million budget, which is simply dismal. Flash forward to 2017, when Diesel teamed up with D.J. Let's crank out a few examples, shall we?Ģ015's "Last Witch Hunter" was made for $90 million and turned a small profit thanks to overseas grosses, but it only made $27 million in the United States and got shredded by critics. He's the voice of the very popular Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and makes a solid F&F film every 2-3 years but outside of that, Diesel doesn't offer much quality in his choices. Being a star and producer, Diesel used his sway to lure in big names, have a say in location, and generally shape the arc of those guilty pleasure films. Spielberg spotted him with his work in a film which Diesel wrote/directed/produced/starred in called "Strays," but the actor mixed in interesting work and unique chances in movies like "Boiler Room" and "Pitch Black." He is widely known for his instrumental work in the "Fast and Furious" film franchise, which currently polished off its ninth entry. He's got a magnetic presence and a gravelly voice that serves his action persona quite well.īut he took chances back then. LOUIS - Disclaimer: I'm a Vin Diesel fan.Įver since he broke onto the movie scene in Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" over 20 years ago-playing the soulful Private Caparzo-Diesel has held my attention.
