Review of 6 Underground (2019) by Wyattriot — 13 Dec 2019
The two universal truths to this movie: 1) The opening sequence is vintage Bay at his best, and 2) The storyline is it's weak point. The latter would not be a problem, and indeed it doesn't render the Bay-esque 10-angle-action-shots/second opening sequences futile.
However, the first Act writes cheques about the expectations of the rest of the movie that the remainder of the movie sadly can't cash. It almost does the job of being the genesis of Bay's answer to the Fast & Furious / Mission:Impossible franchise, albeit the wonderfully ridiculous over-the-top version, under the cover of Reynolds' idiosyncratic humour.
Alas, the aforementioned weak plot is not only found wanting, but also wasting the opportunity of what could've been the start of something everlasting, if even a fun and exciting stand alone movie in its own right.
...this review would be longer but I'm still having to concentrate on the never-ending action scenes that are still somehow not over despite finishing the movie hours ago.
