6 Underground
Stream
After faking his death, a tech billionaire recruits a team of international operatives for a bold and bloody mission to take down a brutal dictator.
What critics thought
DivisiveCritics largely panned 6 Underground as a maximalist Bay spectacle that exhausts before it entertains — repetitive, tonally incoherent, and riddled with sexism and cheap jokes. A small minority embraced exactly those qualities as a feature rather than a bug, making this one of those films where your tolerance for the director's style determines your entire experience of it.
“6 Underground, a non-stop stunt reel with a few, admittedly impressive displays of [Bay's] usual visual verve, is just Fast & Furious crossed with an old Whitesnake music video, but with fewer functioning brain cells.”
Cary Darling·Houston Chronicle
“it becomes repetitive, nonsensical, and just loud after everyone gets an origin story and we're left with nothing to do but go boom”
Brian Tallerico·RogerEbert.com
“What [director Michael Bay] seems to be chasing is the feeling of freedom, the windswept open-skies exhilaration of a man who has everything. But he's still just doing donuts, hoping all those whiplash turns from nihilism to macho sentiment awaken something inside him.”
Jesse Hassenger·The A.V. Club
“a riotous and gleefully delirious assault on the senses. It is vulgar. It is absurd. And it is completely enthralling.”
Barry Hertz·The Globe and Mail
“a terrible action movie that utilizes Michael Bay's worst instincts and none of his best”
