6 Underground (Netflix) - 3/5
This movie is Michael Bay rendition of the old Mission Impossible TV show, with all that that entails. It has huge setpieces and exciting action, an easy-to-follow plot and a camera that ogles the women in various states of undress. Car chases, parkour, explosions, one-liners; it’s 90’s action filmmaking turned up to 11. Everything’s very colorful, with lots of gorgeous shots despite a few shaky close-ups. It’s style over substance for better and worse.
Content warnings: sex, mild gore
Closest comparison: It’s like the Mission Impossible TV show (1966) as reimagined by Michael Bay.
