The Big Picture podcast kinda made me wanna see this one because they made it sound incredibly worth seeing even if they also said it's quite terrible. I wouldn't say it's worth a watch, but it's certainly a rarity because of how much of an over-the-top, unapologetically common denominator action flick it is. If you don't like Michael Bay anyway, like me of course, then don't do this to yourself.
Terrible things about 6 Underground: Soundtrack. "DIIIG DOOOWN." Editing. Direction. Nonsensical story. Insanely dumb dialogue. Attempts at emotional scenes. Doesn't know how much of a satire it wants to be, or if it wants to be anything at all. Constant product placement. These close-ups. Definitely racist. Humourless humour. Title cards. For sure sexist. Voice-over. Annoying time-shifts. "DIIIIIG DOOOOOWN." Michael Bay. Slow motion. Michael Bay. Despicable storytelling. Michael Bay. Why is Mélanie Laurent in this? She deserves better, but I guess if that helps her finance some films then so be it. No substance at all. It is boring. About two hours too long. Honestly too many cons to bring up.
Good things about 6 Underground: It ends. It's fun to hear people talking about it. I hope Mark Kermode will review it.
