Bloody lovely! Action from the get go. Explosions, blood splatters, crashes. Lots of humour. Great soundtrack. Super performances from Ryan Reynolds and Ben Hardy. Enjoyed from start to finish.
using Abu Dhabi's most iconic buildings to illustrate a fictional place called "Turgistan" is not very wise in my opinion...
I know it's a bullshit movie okay, everyone who watched it knows that! But it's some great bullshit and I'm glad i watched it. Trailer was right, it is the Michael Bayest movie of all Michael Bay movies.
A whole lot of Michael Bay's style fun. They should do a sequel.
shit, terrible, netflix hypocritical shit
watched it twice, and enjoyed it in both times so i don't get why the too much negative reviews ! it was funny and fun, story not too perfect true yet still follows a right path
This makes the worst films I’ve ever seen look like masterpieces. Unbelievable.
Total mess, at least the locations aré Spectacular.
Think Austin Powers, but Michael Bay. That’s this movie. The acting, script and dialogue are just not fantastic, but the entertainment value is 10/10.
I’d also like to add that the opening car chase scene is top notch. Fantastic stunt driver and directing.
Holy fuck. This was such a horrible movie.
Almost 20min of straight action in Michael Bay's style in the beginning! That was epic! The story itself is just like any other action movie - regular - but the difference is these are no regular action scenes, these are Michael Bay's action scene, with explosions, blood, tension, camera action, stunts, and so much more. So it's an 8 for that.
no one does action better than Michael bay.
Fans of full-blown extermination, where the plot is only an insignificant background, will be pleased. ;)
Frikin' awesome Michael Bay movie. Non-stop action with a great cast shot in beautiful international locations.
It’s loud, it’s incoherent, it's cheesy (not the good kind), it’s extremely cringy, it’s edited by someone who snorts too much cocaine, it's shot like a pornographic film, the needle drops are shit, the acting sucks, the writing’s completely trivial and garbage, but none of that’s too surprising considering who directed it.
The annoying thing about Michael Bay is that he’s convinced that he’s awesome, whereas he’s really just a massive pleb.
He's like a dumb, charmless bro, and that personality is reflected in his movies.
This is truly the worst kind of excess, not even defensible as a ‘dumb, pulpy action movie’.
1.5/10
Pointless plot with a stupid setting that makes no sense.
No characters you could care about.
Dialogues that only manage to annoy.
Action scenes as boring fillers, providing zero entertainment. Even that one unique idea was barely noteworthy.
That's subpar even by Michael Bay's standards.
Good story, although I can't imagine a team like this would stay unknown very long. Great action, although a bit hard to believe at times, and great scenery. Good acting for the most part.
The beginning was very chaotic. Just start the movie and go forward, the jump backs are very jolting and were totally unnecessary. That dragged my score down.
And Ryan Reynolds' constant sarcastic comments and smart ass characters are really getting old! I really liked it at first but he plays the same character ALL THE TIME! This also dragged my score down. The other actors were pretty good.
Overall, not a complete waste of time but there are better movies that cover the same basic ground.
Pacing issues, other than that, perfectly fine Bayhem movie.
Gave it a 7 but really the first half of the movie is a 4 and the last half is a 7....so confusing until the halfway point.
What an absolute shitshow. Horribly shot. Horrible edited. Horrible characters. Horrible acting. Horrible plot. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
i have no words, this is amazing, i would kill to watch this for the first time again !
My Favorite Netflix Films Of All-Time!!!!
It seams Michael Bay can really make ok movies and not just over the top cartoon like Transformer movies :)
Really loved the cast and all the funny lines.
Bottom line : very ok action flick as long as you don't take it too seriously!
People want to dump on this movie because the interwebs told them they should hate Michael Bay movies. Well this flick is a textbook case of MB saying "screw em' all", and going bigger, Faster, LOUDER, with more CPM (Carnage Per Minute) than ALL Michael Bay movies put together!!!! Hell, the opening sequence alone destroyed ALL BUT ONE of the SEVEN lime green Alfa Romeo Hero cars, and is a mind bending 20 minute ballet of practical auto carnage, well worth the price of admission on it's own:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqXqQeNhytw
Add to that a fairly unknown but IMO stellar, cast headed by quip-master Ryan Reynolds and the likes of Corey Hawkins, Dave Franco, Ben "Skywalker" Hardy, and even a well spoken, but sinister bad guy (Lior Raz) and, Boys and girls, it's a gearhead, action adventure extravaganza.
Set up at the end for a possible sequel, or even a franchise (we can only hope), cuz, this has more storyline and potential than that Vin Diesel franchise, even before Paul Walkers untimely demise, and, STILL they've made NINE of those!
So lay on Michael Bay, and be damned those who first cry, hold enough".....
I've watched a few 100 movies and I'm starting to understand now why character development is so important. This movie had none of it. Michael Bay as usual tries to impress for a full 90 minutes with over the top action and character arcs that pay off in mere 5 to 10 minutes.
5 barely got screen time and didn't get any sort of backstory unlike the rest of her crew.
3 was the best thing about this movie and if I ever watched again it'd only be for his lines.
I wish Badboys 3 looked like this! Michael Bay can give the film what I expect from it. And I'll get it! And he doesn't lose it after the second look. I hope to see a sequel soon.
And just on the sidelines to those reviews and negative comments. It is simple. If I watch a movie from Michael Bay, I'm expecting a movie from Michael Bay. When I want to go to football, I don't go to hockey. If I want coffee, I don't buy Coke. When I want KFC, I don't go to McDonalds. Simple! The rest of us will have a delicious portion of Bay and add explosive fries!
It’s the day after I watched this movie and I feel really hung over and I wasn’t drinking last night. Honestly, I think I’d love any movie with Ryan Reynolds so I’m probably not the best judge but that was a unique, wild ride. Full of action, characters were fun and music was awesome. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

As far as stupid bullshit goes, this was excellent for the category. Story is a mess, editing is nauseating. Some interesting action scenes, but hilariously gratuitous as Michael Bay do.
Looks like a low budget film, and did Michael Bay really make this garbage. You only need to watch a few minutes and you're met by inconsistencies with the windows in the car being open from the outside and closed on the inside, bullets causing big showers of sparks, unrealistic car crashes. Very disappointing.
I'll admit, I watch Ryan Reynolds movies just to hear his signature snark, not really for the anything else. This was not his best action movie (because Michael Bay?), but he did snark in it. Recommended for the completionist.
Apparently, it is possible...you can outBay Michael Bay, BUT...does it count when it's Michael Bay that does it himself?
I know that didn't make much sense, but 6 Underground is batshit insane. It starts out at an incredible pace and rarely lets up. Car chases, shootouts, explosions...and that's just the beginning.
Anyway...these kinds of action movies tend to divide people. Either you like them or you don't. I tend to mostly enjoy them, and 6 Underground is no exception. There's a lot of stuff to pick at if you want to do such things, but hell...this one was such fun that I really don't care.
If you like the over-the-top, batshit insane, action-driven type of movies. This is probably gonna blow your mind. If you don't, then do yourself a favor and stay away.
What a mess of a film!. A total waste of budget with a paper thin plot full of holes. The worst Michael Bay movie, so far.
I couldn't even make it past the opening scene before quitting. I seriously question the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this garbage, especially if you're over the age of 13.
Michael Bay ruins what could have been a seriously fun movie. The actors are great, the action is fun, the premise is good enough. But after finishing it I know it's going to flop so much the second time around because of how scattershot it is. Such as introducing the films premise at LEAST 3 times. Spending WAY too long on backstories. Classic action scenes with no weight. The opening car chase is wonderful. It's a great way to jump into the action. It actually does a lot of things right. It effectively introduces us to the characters and a lot of their dynamic but it's just.. poorly directed. You have no sense of where anyone is going or why. When you get get a sense you lose it because of inconsistent editing. It's all the worst parts of Bay. Just slow it down a touch, ground it a little more, and plot out the city better so we can feel tension properly and it would have been perfect. Not that it matters you could literally cut that scene out start the movie right after that scene and it would affect nothing. They reintroduce the characters AGAIN, the plot of everyone being dead AGAIN, the new mission AGAIN. It's a shame Bay lost his good people who reined him in and at least gave him some blinders so it could literally throw everything in.
This could have been a great wink/nudge style "parody"/homage to all the A-Team style "we're dead mercenaries working towards our own goals/money" movies. The Old Guard would succeed where this fails but that's a different niche. That's not a parody or an homage. It's a recreation done pretty sincerely. Instead while I enjoyed 6 Underground I kinda feel like I'd rather rewatch The Losers than rewatch this.
Action, action , action from the beginning to the end I had to watch a episode of 24 just to calm down thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like a clever action movie you will not be disappointed.
Hmm... so the A-Team except they're not military guys and its leader is a billionaire.
I don't care... it's Deadpool and I'm fine watching all his ish.
The others were also good even the dude from 24 which I never really saw his previous roles so this was a good introduction for me.
Ain't got nothing to watch right now anyway :type_4:♀
only good things in that movie are the effects, overall just an brainless action movie with huge budget
Wow, what a production. The stunts and effects are insane! But i didnt like the movie..
I don't get all the negative comments. It is, what it is. Action film.. classic bay.
Extremely forgettable and average movie.
It's stupid, reduculous and unbelievably over-the-top with amazing music.
I loved it.
What a shitshow lmao. This is really a waste of time. Do not watch if you want a good coherent plot and good acting.
Bloody hell, that hurts!
I watched only 54 minutes and it hurt my eyes and my brain. All you see is explosions whishing through your screen and Deadpool commenting on stuff that is happening, that you don't even understand because your brain is so fully stimulated with explosions. Watch something else, you'll be better off!
The plot (as far as I could tell) is something about people who are ghosts, somehow believed dead, but instead are actually recruited by Deadpool, who is rich. Then they kill people. Or rob banks. Or do highspeed car chases through narrow Italian cities. Not quite sure.
Then they dress up and kill some corrupt mob guy in a fancy Dubai hotel. Then I stopped watching.
I do NOT, under no circumstances, recommend anyone to watch that movie! Not even if you liked Transformers, which I liked very, very much. Normally, a Transformers-movie is a movie which one can watch without thinking. Just watch some explosions and big robots beating each other and no one has to think about plot or relations or anything else, because the only elements there are, are violence and explosions. And that works there, but somehow not when Deadpool plays the lead. And in my opinion, Ryan Reynolds is, just like Kristen Stewart, unable to play anything else than one role.
What a terrible shame.
It's a nice Micheal Bay movie if you are only in for the action and not an actual plot. Kinda went too dark before the ending but worked out later on. Give it a watch if you are quarantined like me!
The Most Michael Bay Movie that Michael Bay Ever Michael Bay’d!!!!
I would never purposely watch a movie directed by that talentless hack, Michael Bay. And, I had no idea that he'd directed this monstrosity. A few minutes in, I thought to myself, "These jump-cuts are like a goddamn music video. This director sucks!" Of course, I then proceeded to look it up, and sure enough, it's that absolute turd of a director, Michael Bay. I waited another 10 minutes or so, and this neverending car chase was still going on, and I finally turned it off at the 16-minute mark.
Bay's claim to fame was that MTV recognized his work as a music video director. M-fucking-TV. M-16 and Pregnant-TV. Being assigned praise from MTV is a sure sign that you are fucking terrible at what you do. My only question is, what is Ryan Reynolds doing slumming in this cesspool?
Got bored after 15 minutes watching it.
It's a mess but in typical Michael Bay messy form. Brain cells - be gone!
Michael Bay movie in its purest form, obnoxious song choices included.
Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it though.
Lots of action. Lots of blown up body parts. Cheesy quips. And nothing else. No purpose. No plausible relationships or motivation. No mystery in how it will end. Not my cup of tea. I give this film a 3 (bad) out of 10. [Expensive Mind-numbing Action]
That was the most Michael Bay movie I’ve ever seen and I loved it lol.
I think some viewers and experts are hating a bit to much on this movie - just a simple action movie with Ryan Reynolds in it. Simple and and fun movie to spend your evening by.
I got everything I was expecting to get from trailer and I'm satisfied.
60% :grimacing:
Positives:
I absolutely loved the beginning of the movie. The car chase set the pace of the whole movie. Ryan Reynolds has never let me down and he didn’t let me down in this one either. This movie from start to finish has Michael Bay written all over it. The acting was fairly strong and I loved all the gadgets that were used.
Negatives:
If you like a story driven movie then this is not for you. When you have Michael Bay as the director you instantly are sacrificing a real plot for action through the whole thing. The humor sometimes falls a little flat and sometimes the jokes weren’t as funny as intended. Also, the fight scenes were very predictable except for a couple.
Overall:
The film is good. It’s not the best action flick I’ve ever seen but it was a very easy watch. If you are ever in a mood to just watch a movie and not think then this movie is perfect for you.
This being a Michael Bay movie, it was as expected--profoundly stupid, barely developed characters, lots of shooty shooty boom boom, about 30-ish minutes too long, immature dialogue, and some more splodey-bang-kablamo. I knew what I was getting into, and you should too, and once you know that (and your brain is properly locked in its completely off position), there's some fun action to watch. Ryan Reynolds is also fun, despite just being Ryan Reynolds. This is better than Bay's recent TMNT/Transformers action garbage and hearkens back to flicks like The Rock, Con Air, Demolition Man, and the like from the 90s. This is low grade cinema, at best, but it has some nice 4K 'splosions to look at!
One of the best action movies I have seen in the last years. Perfect action scenes.
If I wanted to see something more cultural I would see Akira Kurosawa. But if I want to see something just for the entertainment I will definitely watch this movie again.
Didn't expect anything different from Michael Bay tp be honest. For most of the movie, if not all, I didn't know what was happening and why, yet I was intrigued. If you like non stop action, explosions and Ryan Reynolds, you'll wanna watch this.
I feel like a Jedi!
Dog's breakfast of a movie. However, if you love 20 minutes of smash 'em up, shoot 'em up then 5 minutes of small talk liberally peppered with Motherf@#$%^, then repeat for waaayyyy too long...you are going to love it!
How did they get in the chopper?:pleading_face:
Michael Bay must have flysight... Each shot barely lasts 3seconds.
The first 20 mins looks like a compilation of all the car stunts in the transformers movies before the cgi was added,feels like 3 hrs!
The only good thing about this, is getting to see Mélanie Laurent in 4k. Unfortunately it's only for a few milliseconds at a time.
Going by the amount of stunts & music used, this must be Netflix's most expensive movie ever.
most relevant things have been said about this waste of breath of a movie. purile tripe. AVOID
I was expecting something good with Ryan Reynold as the lead and written by Rhett Reese after their work on the Deadpool movies but for some reasons the story is all over the place and you can't understand what's happening and there's tons of overly big explosions that would remind you of one of those latest Michael Bay movies... oh wait, IT IS a Michael Bay movie
BTW, that magnetic boat thingy is totally non-sense
At least the soundtrack is good, but that might be because I love The Score (that's the band's name) which is heavily featured through the movie.
"Ok, this looks like a cool movie, right? Perfect to be the last one of 2019!". Ugh. What the hell was I thinking!!!???
It's like they tried to mix together Ocean's 11 + any Fast and Furious + Deadpool + the parkour from the Assassins creed games. And failed in an spectacular way. Michael Bay's style.
Great visual effects. Decent sountrack. Awful at everything else.
"It's so over-the-top that it's oddly dull."
It was a complete mess! But I loved just about every second of it.
One of the worst movie I've ever seen
What has the editor smoked ?, Script / Coherence? Sets of scenes of scenes mounted together, between shootings, flying cars and explosions, it seems that they are trying to find something
Such a waste of time, couldn't finish it.
The action and special effects were mostly enjoyable and some of it quite impressive really. The story and the characters, by contrast, were nothing of interest. To be honest, the film was quite a mess, but overall it was well worth a watch and I even enjoyed it, at least a little.
5 - Meh
Having jumped into this movie knowing little else than Ryan Reynolds is in it, I got what I expected: a Micheal Bay movie with Ryan Reynolds. It can be funny at times, though the seriousness is sometimes lost in the action.
AWFUL! No Drama, no interesting Stories. Give me back 2 hours of my life!
Like others have said, the film is a flat out mess. They like to jump back and forth into the past to introduce characters and such, but it ruins the rhythm so much. I think they would've better off to just do a straightforward approach. Also, it seems way too long for the type of movie it is
This was a GREAT action comedy movie with the BEST car chases I have ever seen. Great story with cool technology used and funny character dynamics. This is exactly what I wanted from a Michael Bay movie. People that expect a Beautiful Mind kind of movie should look for something else :)
Entertaining if you don't think about it too much, or have it on in the background
What a fucking mess of a movie
Good Movie, enjoyed it
The Problem is,that there is a lot of Filming mistakes
it was a very good film. a mixture of fast and the furious and deadpool. the camera work is the same as with Bad Boys 2. It's just a Michael Bay film.
Over the top action. Like come on, let me grab the storyline first. Oops, forgot, there is no story line. Just ACTION. Cars chasing, rappling, gunfire and yes, flying dead bodies.
If you just wanna enjoy some plain action, here you go. But if you're even looking for a little bit of storyline, sorry mate, this movie is not for you.
I don't think I have to tell you that this is just mindless entertainment, watch if that is what you are looking for and don't complain if it's not a smart and thought provoking movie.
dont watch for the story, watch for the car chasing and its pretty naisu
Not my type of movie, a lot of explosions and bland plot. Ryan Reynolds "funny" comments every 3 minutes are very cringeworthy. Also, why didn't they show Number 5 backstory?
the only good part about this movie was the first 20mns and the last 30 mns! that's it.
Fun and pretty — just how I like 'em.
This may be the worst movie I've ever seen. It's a like an Andy Sidaris film only without the tits.
Another incoherent Michael Bay movie. That is so sexy and nice to look at. That you wish it was a good movie.
6 Underground is yet another Michael Bay car advertisement/stunt show. With barely any plot, a wasted good cast and brainless action. In other words, 6 Underground might as well be a Transformers movie.
If Bay cared about plot and character development. He could easily be a good director. Instead we’re thrust into a whole lot of action. With no clue why there’s such a long car chase going on.
it's an action movie. it's exciting. it's trash and lacks plot but i mean. i would still watch a continuing franchise of it where ryan reynolds is literally just playing himself and michael bay is literally just doing everything he can to be michael bay.
Top 3 worst movie ever.
Someone made a choice here:
[ ] Action movie
[√] Action movie (simplified)
Oh, come on, my dudes. It's not as bad as you're making it out to be. Yes, the first act was unnecessarily convoluted and yes, the third act had too many greeting card moments but the action scenes were as exciting and fresh as sex with a well armed armed prostitute. And like that encounter, 6 Underground isn't earth moving but at least you come away with your money's worth.
This is bad even considering this is a Michael Bay movie and I had very, very low expectations. Probably hadn't even watched this if it wouldn't be on Netflix. But since I kinda payed for it already I thought: why not ?
You start with a 20 min car chase that really is nothing but sugar-coating CGI enhanced stunts. By the way Bay must have developed a fetish for flying bodies 'cause there are lots of them throughout the movie. You basically get the tone of the movie. Its all out, over the top, unrealistic action with an excuse (and I mean this in the truest sense of the word) for a story. Short note to Mr. Bay: more is not always better. You could cut out an hour of the movie. I wonder, what would he be doing if there wasn't any CGI available. You definately feel the Deadpool vibe but it's not catching here. Don't know what Reynolds saw in the script that made him want to do this movie but please: NO SEQUEL.
Not the best movie but it was entertaining to watch. Lot of actions from the beginning, like really fast pace movie. I felt bad for #6. not expecting his part. Also they missed telling the story of 5 and 6. How they met. beside that, it was a fun movie to watch with some good joke.
Action scenes were great. I think Michael Bay really killed some people in a few of them, lol. I mostly enjoyed the movie but the pace and lack of explanations felt like I was watching a movie pilot for a tv series.
Wow...DO NOT waste your time on this movie. It is so boring!
Classic stupid Michael bay movie. What a waste
The car chase is very good. But my main issue with the movie is that i did not care how the story ends or what happens with any of the characters. Cause it is poorly written. Even for a Action movie.
Non. Stop. Action.
Despite other naysayers, I absolutely loved this movie. The 20 minute car chase in the beginning was one of the best I've seen. It definitely had a nod to the '80's action films where it was all about the action and one liners and never took itself seriously. We need more movies like this.
I watched this movie and liked it. Not loved it. The explosions. The cheesy lines. The allure of having at least 6 people somewhere trying to make a difference in a world that is otherwise a total disaster in some parts while in the other parts it's just a rat race. So yes, I liked a movie, where people woke up one day and said, you know what? I'll do something about this. Reynolds actually alludes to this when he says something along the lines of; little actions can have a big impact.
Now after I watched this movie, I did what any other traditional person does. Hopped on the internet to see what the world thought of it and to check if a second installment was already on the way, because I want more. Imagine my surprise when I found a few articles from mainstream media, denouncing it for garbage. Even worse, I found a few comments here that describe the movie as garbage.
I won't disagree, but when did we start to expect EVERY movie to be a cultural masterpiece?? This movie isn't here to teach you about the world. It isn't here to inspire you. It's here for some fun. If you're looking for a movie to watch with your mates while your all just eating pizza and drinking beer, well this is it.
If you're looking for a movie to watch with the wife and kids, this probably isn't it. Depending on how comfortable you are with watching women in lingerie, while the scenes are depicting all the signs of people having fun, and sharing all of that with your kids. Oh did I mention that there is a lot of blood? no? my bad. So this definitely isn't one for the family to sit down and watch together.
But it is a fun movie if all that you need is, explosions, beautiful people half naked for a few scenes, parkour and tremendous car crashes. Have fun and for crying out loud, don't decide to skip the movie just because a few ... decided to wake up and call it a horrible movie. Make up your own mind and enjoy watching Reynolds drop a few deadpool-esque lines.

Definitely not the greatest movie ever made, but if you want some nice action with a pinch of comedy this is worth a watch. Just don't expect too much from the story.
