I like how all of Michael Bay's movies feel like a Burger King commercial parodying a blockbuster movie.

I watched the whole trailer to be sure.. how you gonna make a movie called this and not include the Sneaker Pimps song in the trailer?! It better be in the movie somewhere......

Looks like a lot of plot points, to say the least. Probably trash but I'm cautiously interested.

I know plot is inconsequential in a Bay movie, but it's impressive that a 3 minute trailer can manage to convey almost nothing of what the movie is about.

Also, it's increasingly crazy that we're getting movies like this and The Irishman going straight to Netflix.

6 elite soldiers declared or left for dead use their skills and anonymity to kill "bad guys" that's about as thick as any Michael Bay plot gets, still looks fun though.

Not to defend Bay plots, but it's pretty clear it's a mercenary group of people that faked their own deaths and now go around taking out bad people.

"If they exist, they can be made not to."

Brilliant writing. Every shot in the trailer was classic Bay trash. It's on Netflix though, so I'm in.

So weird to see my own city (Taranto) featured in a Netflix trailer for an american-based production XD

From what I can gather, a bunch of ex-military faked their deaths to operate outside of government jurisdiction and kill some crime lords, and the government found out and now they're dodging the government while pulling off their biggest crime lord kill

Netflix has this, Marriage Story, and My Name is Dolemite coming up. And people said D+ was going to kill off Netflix. LOL. Keep bringing the diverse entertainment options, Netflix, and I'll keep choosing you over the competition.

Saw this earlier, and I didn't even read that its a Bay film nor did I need to to recognize that it is. Dutch angles, American Military, Sun Glare, this 3 minute trailer was more Michael Bay then the entirety of Bad Boys 2 or even the Island. Looking forward to it.

Weird looking back to when Bright came out a couple of years ago and people were amazed that Netflix would pony up $90m for a film that wouldn't see a big theatrical release and yet here we are a couple of years later with films nearly doubling that.

On IMDB the synopsis is: Six billionaires fake their own deaths and form an elite vigilante squad in order to take down notorious criminals.

In the writers' credits, I see Deadpool and Zombieland. Yeah, I'm in for sure.

I saw Dolemite Is My Name (easy to get the title mixed up) at Fantastic Fest and it's amazing. You're in for a treat.

I can not wait for that one. The cast is crazy good.

That billionaire thing makes it actually a fun twist but NOTHING of that was visible in the trailer. Should have been a more interesting cast of old/fat/whatever rich dorks.

Out of all the Netflix dumb blockbuster type attempts, this is the first that actually looks like a film I'd see in theatres.

I didn't see the cast so for the first minute I though Ryan Reynolds was actually Ben Affleck.

Wasn't really interested enough to finish the trailer though I guess if it's on Netflix I'll give it a watch. It looks painfully formulaic though.

It keeps being weird how Michael Bay was this great prodigious film director who perfected a unique style of action movie filming and then somewhere around, I dunno, Pearl Harbor went, fuck it, I'm going to phone in every single movie of mine for the next two decades.

Anyone remember the song by Sneaker Pimps? Absolutely one of the best things to have come out of the 90's.

Probably just means they can get any tech and gear they want, and make absurd plans happen due to money

Basically a vigilante movie where the vigilantes have the operating budget of a few countries combined

What the FUCK is that music? Makes me want to Van Gogh my fucking ears off... BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLABLA!!!

That aside, this looks like dumb fun, especially if Ryan Reynolds add some charisma to all the stupidity. Usually the difference between fun and garbage Bay movies, they need someone to add some soul to it since Michael Bay has none.

This looks fun and actiony, plus being on Netflix means I'll watch it.

"6 Underground" is a classic song. Almost timeless.
