Massive suspension of believe
Some very poor acting
Confusion
So I watched 6 Underground as soon as it came out on Netflix, however I found out straight away, that it was a film guilty of misleading you in the trailers. As much as I loved the action sequences and always enjoy Ryan Reynolds I can decide if this was a half decent action film or just a collection of action film cliches thrown together in a montage with a Ryan Reynolds monologue playing over the top!

Entertaining Action film
A very enjoyable Netflix action film with Charlize Theron in her usual bad ass role. The action scenes are very good, similar to John Wick and the recent @Extraction (2020) with the shoot out scenes. The story is interesting and the various flash backs of of battles over history are good. Between the action scenes it is a bit slow in paces and overall predictable in the outcome. Still very entertaining and worth checking out.

Stunt and fight choreography
Even bigger and badder than the first
I've been looking forward to this for a while and it doesn't disappoint! Taken it up a new level from the first. Some of the action scenes involving trains, Helicopters, huge shoot outs were amazing. Shot in a similar style to the first film. Almost a @Hardcore Henry (2016) vibe at times or a feeling of watching a crazy video game action sequence but with real actors. One for the action fans!

A good action thriller that seems to have gone under the radar? A great cast, with a good story that will keep you guessing. Feels similar to the likes of the Siege, Body of lies etc due to the main themes in the story. The action scenes are very good. So if you enjoy a well made action/thriller this deserves a wider audience.

Suspense
Romance
This is an amazing story! There is the perfect amount of action, suspense and romance right from the start. The characters are faith driven but the religious views weren't excessive. It was refreshing to read something that action packed without it being vulgar in any way. I would recommend this book to anyone. Looking forward to reading more from Jane Choate.

Love the John whick movies my type of movies there's plenty of non stop action one continuous roller coaster ride of action. Keanu reeves is amazing in the role and to think it all stated with the death of his dog and the theft of his car hope there's a forth one want to see where John whick goes next

3.25 stars
I'll admit it's been a while since I read book 1 and had forgotten a lot of what went on so for the first 55% or so I struggled. But then everything seemed to be kicked into high gear and it was action, action, action and I couldn't put it down.
That being said, I haven't decided yet whether to read book 3 or not.

Return to sender
Well thought this might be a decent action thriller, sounded like @The Transporter (2002) but on a bike. It's actually a poor, cheesy action film. So low budget nearly the entire film takes place in a car park! What on earth Gary Oldham was doing in this is beyond me. Avoid this one.
