6 Underground

It's a Michael Bay film so you should roughly know what to expect. Lots of action and a massive production. The story isn't that bad, just take it for what it is. Most Hollywood movies are farfetched. Considering it's a Netflix original I'd say well done.

These reviewers who watch a Michael Bay movie and review it as if they were expecting Shakespeare need to stop reviewing. Seriously. The only reason to watch his flicks are so you can leave your brain at the door, turn off the lights, turn up the surround sound to 100 and sit back and watch $hit blow up. You want a thinking person's movie? Go see something else. You want your brain mushed then watch this! Was awesome, funny, action filled, fast cars, explosions, I was blowing bubbles out of my ears. Such fun.

So you have had a long tough week at work. It's Friday, and you want to escape your work life. You open a bottle of wine, pour a glass and put a movie on. You have escaped the dire reality of 9-5. This film is a perfect release, it has action, it has Ryan Reynolds based humour. It will never be an Oscar nominee for best picture, but hey, it's Friday night, you have a glass of wine in your hand and you want to release the week. At times it felt like a film By numbers but nowadays it is extremely rare not too. So please, enjoy the film for what it is. It's action. It's fun. It's Friday night so enjoy.

I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started this. Bay's movies involve non stop action, lots of explosions and lots of money spent in the production. I wasn't crazy about it, but it was absolutely tolerable. Not a 10 and not a 1. It was entertaining and kept me involved trying to figure it out. But, the redeeming factor for this movie is it kept me involved, and the pyrotechnics which are a staple of Bay films used the full capacity of my BOSE 3000 soundbar, sub woofer and surround speakers, much like "The Rock." Time to watch that again.

All the other reviews are correct. This film is shallow, weird, disjointed, entertaining, funny, odd, violent, ridiculous, cool, cringy. I liked it though. Switch your brain off first and just go along for the ride.
