New on Netflix: 6Underground

Let me start out by saying that this movie is neither good nor bad - it kind of depends on what sort of mood you are in. It's action-packed for sure but completely impractical with a typical mix of things that people like to see.

Mostly I consider it to be brainless good fun

It is absolutely nuts how much money Netflix is spending at the moment. This film was directed by Michael Bay (yeah, the Transformers guy) and cost more than $150 million to make. It looks like a Michael Bay film from the moment it starts and continues its rediculousity for the duration.

That photo pretty much sums up the movie right there. It's a bunch of shit exploding and gunfights and chase scenes from start to finish. There is so much action that when the movie slows down for just a little while in order to give you some sort of story to go along with it your dopamine levels drop so quickly that you find yourself shouting "friggin get on with already" even though the dialogue has only been going on for 12 seconds.

But don't worry... you could start this film at a random location without knowing anything about it and you will be at maximum 20 seconds away from the nearest explosion or car-chase scene.

Literally everything that happens during the entire 2 hours of this film is just absurd, and that is part of the fun. I think that there is at least a chance that Michael Bay was just effing with Netflix and suggested they give him $150 mill to do Fast and Furious but with significantly more bullets and even more absurd situations that defy physics and sensibilities.

If at any point in the film explosions stop doing it for you there are plenty of near nude scenes from lots of sexy people to keep you glued to the screen.

I don't think that anyone expects an Amistad type experience when viewing something Bay is involved in and well, that is exactly what you are not going to get here. The story is dumb as are most of the characters and all of their god-like characteristics are just annoying if you take it too seriously.

This is already being panned by all-too-serious critics but come on folks, it isn't difficult to tell from the trailer what you are getting yourself into when you finally sit down to watch this monster. It is a film where they had a $150 million budget. They spent $450 on the script and spent $140,500,000 on pyrotechnics, CGI, and Ryan Reynolds - they wasted the rest.

Screw the critics, I thought it was fun because I didn't find it necessary to think even a little bit for 2 whole hours.
