The bit with the big magnet on the yacht? 100% here for that.
Okay, let us break this down.
Directed by Michael Bay, so the guy behind Bad Boys, The Rock, and Armageddon. (And, yes, ALL of the Transformers movies, but let us not dwell on those...)
Starring Ryan Reynolds, alongside an impressive international cast including Mélanie Laurent, Corey Hawkins, Adria Arjona, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Ben Hardy Lior Raz, Payman Maadi, and Dave Franco.
Written by the guys behind Deadpool, Zombieland, Deadpool 2, and the better-than-you've-heard space horror Life.
Produced by Netflix, with a price-tag of $150 million, making it the most expensive thing they've produced to date. (At least until their next Ryan Reynolds movie arrives.)
So that is what we've got with 6 Underground, which tells the story of a group of billionaires, all of whom fake their deaths, and turn to a life of highly-funded bad-guy hunting, which invariably results in them crossing paths with an equally well-funded suite of villains, and then everything explodes.
Bay and Netflix are hoping that this will become the first in a massive action franchise (7 Underground in 2021?), and if (A) they can continue to come up with awesome set-pieces like that bit with the magnet on the yacht, and (B) they haven't given away all the good action stuff in this trailer, then we are all in.
6 Underground arrives on Netflix on Friday 13 December.
