6 Underground - Movie Reviews (2024)

At the end of the day, it is doing too much. The political commentary feels incredibly shallow and the plot is so barely there making it hard to follow and the heist confusing...I really, really wanted to like 6 Underground but I just can’t.

The structure is poorly assembled and every character is given very little emotional depth.

There's a method to Bay's madness, and you'll find it crammed somewhere in-between his cuts by the millisecond and swooping low-angle camera movements.

Did Michael Bay invent World Cinema or did the world just copy him? The spectacle is savage, the metacommentary delightful, and the pace bloodthirsty though it runs long.

I am not sure who this is for, but anyone who has the stamina to make it all the way through the end of it deserves to be eligible for financial compensation.

Bay's clumsy but visually impressive movie should partly sate anyone waiting for the superior thrills and spills of the next Fast & Furious outing.

The choreography and orchestration is brilliant when you take a step back, and an exhausting adrenaline rush as you take it in.

If you want mindless action, 6 Underground delivers the goods. Don't expect the film to be intellectually stimulating or dramatically satisfying. If you are, you have never seen a Michael Bay movie before.

Bar a couple of ridiculous sequences that stand out for their colourful design and audaciousness, the film is simply too aimless to find much of a reason to care beyond the over-stylised film-making.

6 Underground is the kind of film that considers a nun giving the middle finger to be the height of edgy humour.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 17, 2020

In the moments that connect the action, 6 Underground becomes one of the worst, most cringeworthy movies of the last few years.

Full Review | Feb 10, 2020

A scattered grab bag of images and noises.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 30, 2020

6 Underground is Mountain Dew in cinema form, bursting with energy and ridiculous ideas that is occasionally entertaining but mostly just exhausting.

It's not clever. It's not classy. He thinks it is. But it's bold and tough, and you will respect the awesome might of military technology, else be visited in the night by wicked-rad army ninjas in stealth Blackhawks...

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Jan 8, 2020

This is a terrible action movie that utilizes Michael Bay's worst instincts and none of his best.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 3, 2020

This is indeed a Michael Bay movie, and it has no shame about that. It's utterly insane-and an absolute blast.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2020

This is about as optional as it gets...it's not taking up big screens for "real cinema," but it's just there for people who know they enjoy this type of thing. It's very transparent.

I'm not a Michael Bay fan, but despite myself, I was really enjoying this. A guilty pleasure.

Full Review | Dec 30, 2019

Netflix's sorry attempt at building an action franchise goes very awry with a project that has absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Full Review | Dec 30, 2019

It's so over-the-top that it's oddly dull.
