Esquadrão 6

It's a Michael Bay film so you should roughly know what to expect. Lots of action and a massive production. The story isn't that bad, just take it for what it is. Most Hollywood movies are farfetched. Considering it's a Netflix original I'd say well done.

The film is just endless attention deficit scenes which jumps like crazy. There is no coherence or story development. I honestly don't know what I really watched. The visuals are good, and the film is obviously big budgeted. However, these don't make a good film.

Michael Bay Deluxe, the BOOM, the POW and Ryan Reynolds. It's just about what I was expecting - mindless action, shallow story, (mostly) bland comedy, cliché characters & Reynolds doing his usual shtick. The explosions, gunfights and chases are a little less awesome on the streaming screen, but still deliver the manly blockbuster entertainment we came for in the first place.

The generic nature of the trailers, all of them, lowered the expectations to levels that ultimately helped enjoy the actual movie more. Naturally, the most valued card in the deck of "6 Underground" is the action - it has it all, from gunfights, to explosions, to flying, diving, car chases, parkour and so on. Great stunt work, expensive and well done cgi - no doubt about these things. What helped all that even more was a pretty generous splash of blood and gore. Could've pushed out even more, given the R rating. You can probably guess that it is by no means a realistic action movie, and you're right. That, and also, while the action is consistent, the impact and enjoyment of it is not - therefore pacing stutters, at times. The story is familiar and quite generic, depthless and Hollywood-in-a-nutshell by all standards. Nothing much more to add, the good guys battle and take down the evil guy, the usual. Our team of heroes consist of cliché characters, portrayed by decent actors having to do only either stunts or humorous dialogue. Ryan Reynolds portrays a more watered down version of all his latest roles conjoined & the comedy in "6 Underground" is hit & miss, mostly just bland and uninspired. I imagine there'll be complaints about the cinematography - it can be head-spinning and some of the cuts are questionable, but as a sum it's more than alright, not the biggest of flaws.

It is rather sad that I was expecting so little (I mean, slightly above average) and that it's exactly what I got. I believe that, even with all the bad etched-in-stone reputation, mr. Michael Bay can do better than this, has done better than this. That being said, "6 Underground" is by no means a 'bad' movie, it's your typical, loud, shiny action-packed blockbuster, with a good cast and big enough budget for you to get some kicks out of it. My rating: 6/10.

I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started this. Bay's movies involve non stop action, lots of explosions and lots of money spent in the production. I wasn't crazy about it, but it was absolutely tolerable. Not a 10 and not a 1. It was entertaining and kept me involved trying to figure it out. But, the redeeming factor for this movie is it kept me involved, and the pyrotechnics which are a staple of Bay films used the full capacity of my BOSE 3000 soundbar, sub woofer and surround speakers, much like "The Rock." Time to watch that again.

All the other reviews are correct. This film is shallow, weird, disjointed, entertaining, funny, odd, violent, ridiculous, cool, cringy. I liked it though. Switch your brain off first and just go along for the ride.
