Movie review: 6 Underground

 
 Now they are off the grid with the world believing they are dead, a team of 6 agents sets out to fight crime and change the future.

Ryan Reynolds (One), Melanie Laurent (Two), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (Three), Ben Hardy (Four), Adria Arjona (Five), Dave Franco (Six), Corey Hawkins (Seven), Lior Raz (Rovach), Payman Maadi (Murat).

6 Underground begins with One explaining the overall plot of the film to us before beginning character introductions. Once completed, the main plot is delivered so we all know where we are going. Along our journey there is plenty of action and comedy quips we have come to expect with Reynolds. The film finishes with mild ending that is gone from our minds as soon as the credits finish.

Acting was okay with Reynolds not quite delivering the performance we have seen from him in other films. Laurent was fitting and fun, as was Rulfo. Franco and Hawkins were fun as usual. Hardy, Arjona, and the remainder of the supporting cast were did fairly well.

Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are all nicely done and the film has a nice big budget, big screen feel. Action scenes are numerous, intense, well done and fitting for the film. Dialogue was okay though there was a lot less humor than expected and even the included humor didn't quite land every time. Sound and soundtrack are mediocre.

Where we have come to expect great humor and quality from Ryan Reynolds films recently, this is not one of them. If you want depth, head somewhere else. If instead you want to turn off your brain and be entertained by action and comedy quips, check this one out.

With some nudity, sexuality, graphic violence, blood and gore, foul language, some more gore, and disturbing adult situations, save this for older teens and above. Though with Reynolds popularity right now good luck keeping teens and above away.
