6 Underground

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.

Does the name Michael Bay tell you something? Do you feel like you know the movies he does and do you like them? If you answer yes to both, congratulations. To be honest more often than not I'm not down with movies that really do not give you much in the department of character development. But this is Bay and the action is terrific.

My home entertainment system had a run for its money! The visuals were stunning too (as usual with Bay) and you had more one liners than actual text (might not be entirely correct on that, but it sure feels like it). So a lot bang for your buck and no substance. Does that sound like a movie that will entertain you, without you having to think too much? Then go ahead and enjoy. Do not snob the people who do though, the casting makes up for some of the flaws at least ...

The film is just endless attention deficit scenes which jumps like crazy. There is no coherence or story development. I honestly don't know what I really watched. The visuals are good, and the film is obviously big budgeted. However, these don't make a good film.

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.

If you are looking for deep conversationes and great plots this is not your kind of movie. If you just want to lay back and enjoy great action scenes mixed with classic Ryan Reynolds comedy inputs, you will love it. Perfect for just laying back and enjoying Action a la Michael Bay!
