Review of 6 Underground (2019) by Gereihing — 14 Dec 2019

If you want to learn the true art of torture, strap someone in a seat and make them watch this movie.

This middle school, food fight of a movie has so many things wrong and nothing really right. I will admit that I had to watch it twice because I fell asleep during the first viewing. So let's unpack a few things.

First, the camera work. Mr. Bey must have wanted to take a page from the Bourne movies, unfortunately the process did not play out. The actions scenes were so herky-jerky that I thought the way the stunts were filmed detracted from the story. Same when it came to building the characters. He was so intent on build a montage of shots at different angles, it appears he forgot that he must keep the camera still long enough for the viewer to develop some sort of bond. But unfortunately, this is were the script fails as well.

I once heard George Clooney on an interview. He said the most important part of a movie is it script. He was spot on this assessment. This script is nothing more than Deadpool on steroids with a very bad dialogue. I can see why there may be a drug problem in Hollywood. If I actually had to say some of these lines, I would probably have to do some sort of drug just to get through it.

Mr. Bey must have thought that if you threw in enough violence, absurd situations (such as using an eye to activate a person's iPhone and car crashes that the viewer would overlook the smaller things like character building, script/plot and camera work. He's wrong.

I would like to congratulate the entire cast on this movie. I would recommend that they call up John Travolta and ask him how he felt after the reviews for "Battlefield:Earth" came out. They all now have their own "Battlefield:Earth" to put on their resume.

If you have more than 2 brain cells and nothing to do, putting a spike in your head or setting yourself on fire would be much more pleasurable that watching this disaster of a movie. I gave it "1' because its Christmas.
