Review of 6 Underground (2019) by Bitash — 10 Sep 2020

I like action movies, I have liked Bay movies in the past, First Transformers, Armageddon, Bad boys....so thought hey it’s 2019, maybe Bay read his critics and with the budget he had for this movie he can now offer us something magnificent.

I watched the first 30 min and the. Literally got angry...why can’t he give us a better movie with all that he has at his disposal?

Let’s talk about the good, amazing action scene in beginning, car chase is well done....ok I watched it and now let’s hope we can get something more out of this movie.....but nope...it just got worse.

Now let’s see what went wrong:

1. Ryan.R...he doesn’t have a huge acting range...just imagine he is exactly like he was in Deadpool...but I know Bay likes that humor so he probably encouraged it.

2. He cast an Israeli actor for the Turkish dictator and the brother is casted by a Persian actor!!! With a Thick Persian accent! Nooo way! I can hear the Persian accent , these two don’t pass as brothers at all. Bad casting.

3. For a movie high budget movie editing is awful....continuity issues right away in the first car chase:

- the supposed female doctor doing surgery in the back of the car to remove a bullet from the other girl...yeah....she has scissors in hand and car is shaking and moving and these two have no seat belts and are somehow magically not thrown all over the place!!! Ok let’s move past that.....a scene she tries to take the bullet out and blood splashes in her eye ( yaaay more gory stuff), but wait...in the slo mo scenes she has blood on her chin! Not in her eye....what happened? Not even smear of blood around the eye in the following scenes! They must have been so focused on the stunt and action/ explosion scenes that no one realized the blood is placed in wrong area....they must have shot that scene so many times they forgot!!!

- Again the first car chase, they going around a round about in Italy, a sexy mom holding her baby is running away from the car with high heels, slow mo shows her with baby and bag on her shoulder...cut and splice to another slow mo and he has no bag on her shoulder!!!! Nooo way...that’s baaaad...come on Michael..no one caught that?...next a man drop his bag on floor as he tries to get away from car...slowmo...bag is not there, next scene, bag is there !!! Omg no way, done it 3x in 10 min.....awful 4. Unnecessary sex scenes, he does that in all his movies, I think he meets hot girls and says hey wanna be in my movie, I can use you, and just writes random sex scene in there for them! ..unrelated to anything in the movie...why? Cuz Bay likes sexy random chick shots with girls jumping into bed with Teddy’s and high heels! One min they are killing people, next sec they re having sex in the next room! Doesn’t make sense.

5. He uses the group Storror for parkour scenes, why? Cuz they make the movie look cool, they are amazing but useless in the movie....they don’t contribute to anything in the movie but the fact that shots are cool. They create a movie with tons of cool shots and splice them together! 6. Constant hyper splicing the scenes, time flash causes confusion....one scene they re in Vegas and next min they suddenly in Paris? At end, Bay is laughing all way to the bank, he is giving his fans what they need, pretty shots an vivid colors, constant explosions, fast expensive cars, beautiful ladies, mindless sex. An his fans eat it up, he never has to change, the movie doesn’t have to make sense or even have a good plot. Shame , cuz he could deliver good movies if he could just read the critics point of view.
