movie review - 6 Underground

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2019.12.15

This is a choppy heist movie by a director who absolutely nails the stunts and visual wizardry and often struggles to capture natural human interaction. And so it is with this piece. There are some flat-out amazing visuals here, such as when a magnet is being deployed as a weapon on a yacht. But the dialog and character actions are difficult to digest and the whole thing has a low signal-to-noise ratio.

Not recommended.
