An American billionaire decided to fake his death and create a team of people to fight evil with, after witnessing the horrors of the communist regime of the invented country Turgistan. All the people in his team faked their own death, and now live off the grid, fighting bad people.

The billionaire is against anyone using their own names (so he's the only one knowing everyone's true identity), so he calls himself One, calling the others numbers up to Six. Two was a CIA spy, Three was a hitman, Four still is a parkour and was a thief, Five still is a doctor for the team, and Six still is a driver for the team. They call themselves ghosts, and until One explains it I thought they were dead!

The movie opens with a long action scene ,in Florence, Italy, in which they interrogate the lawyer of Turgistan's four highest ranking generals, and are chased by the police and the Italian Mafia. Six dies as they try to get away.

 

One recruits a sniper, he calls Seven. He tells him the mission is to take down Turgistan's oppressive regime.

I personally hated the movie, which bored me. The movie was unrealistic, as we know the bill1onaires to be the opposite of the one in the movie. Four was discovered in Ukraine, so I'm thinking he's Ukrainian, but he has a British accent, and his name is Billy. The foreigners speak in English even amongst themselves. Every once in a while,they remember they are foreigners,and speak in their own language.

The movie was convoluted, it keeps on going back into the past (into their mission, their lives and their fake deaths) and forth, which was annoying.

I hate it when they make up countries.

The soundtrack was good, but most of the songs didn't match whatever was on the screen, like for example when they start a revolution.

 

The movie was one of Netflix's most expensive movies, costing 150 million dollars. It was panned by critics ( who didn't like Michael Bay's directing), due to which the sequel was canceled!

Viewer discretion is advised, as the movie is very violent,SPOILER there's a scene in which they bl0w a guy's h3ad off, and they run a guy over with the car while they're joking about it, which I didn't find funny!

The movie is a Netflix production and can the found on the platform.

Rating : Could have been a contender !
