Here's my review of 6 underground . So you know how you ask your parents for something as a kid and they won't buy it for you , and then your cool uncle buys it for you . That cool uncle of Hollywood rn is Netflix . Martin Scorcesse makes his movies till the 3 hour mark cause studios won't let him make em any longer , uncle netlflix came and said "whatever you want " and boom ! You have 'the Irishman' which is almost 4 hours long. And 6 underground is Michael Bay freed of his studio shackles by Netlflix . So before I talk about the movie i'd like to about the man , the myth , the legend , Michael Bay himself. Bay has a style and people can't notice said style unless it's distinguishable . Michael Bay is that one kid who could never get enough of GI JOE , and every single one of his movies glorifies the military which can give call of duty a run for it's money. That's not the only thing he can't get enough of , he can't stand women without makeup . All his movies , even if someone's on their deathbed , they're all heavy on lip gloss and makeup . And you can't be a part of a Michael Bay movie unless you look sexy in every shot , even the sweating needs to make you look cool. Now that's attention to detail . Michael Bay started out making ad films and you can see their influence as his movies are a mix of sports car commercials , lingerie ads and high octane stunts from mountain dew commercials followed by heavy product placement . Bay also has this awkward humour which ranges from racial stereotypes to mispronouncing other movie lines . And last but not least his trademark , explosions ! Bay loves blowing stuff up and makes it look cool by using slo mo shots and music . He also loves his neon colours and uses them whenever he can , even when it's a super secure ghost op. And finally ends his movies with inspirational music followed by montage shots and rolls the credits starting with his name right as the music hits the drop.

Now 6 underground is pretty much Batman without the costume and a no kill rule recruiting people around the world to put down a dictatorship . The Bruce Wayne like dude is played by Ryan Reynolds and his crew is played by a couple of Nickelodeon sitcom rejects with the exception of Melanie Laurent , the theatre chick from Inglorious bastards. The movie has no cgi , has three explosive set pieces set in the streets of Florence , a highrise in some Dubai like place and a yacht . That's just about it . But Michael Bay is that hormonal teenager who never grew up , he likes his action and his cool shots , his testosterone and adrenaline flowing . Cause "teen" us didn't want drama or romance either , we wanted to see stuff explode and understand one liners and that's just what this movie is , and Michael Bay knows that and so does Ryan Reynolds from all the promotion for this movie , which means that all the Michael bayisms in this movie are completely intentional. All sarcasm apart 6 underground is a bad movie , but a bad - good movie , everyone knows it's bad but it delivers high octane action and that's what we were promised so if you need something to roast on, you have it . so if you know your Bay movies you will have fun picking out all the stupid stuff he does or you just watch it for the action anyway . In the end 6 underground is explosive , blindingly neon , has a lot of slo mo shots , tons of product placement and Linkin park's castle of glass music video summed up into one movie. Seriously though, I never thought I'd type this much for a Michael Bay movie .To quote Steve jobs himself " You just can't ignore the crazy ones ".
