Hollywood star Ryan Reylds on Monday said world today is run by dictators who can only be described as "bullies" and it is natural why his character in upcoming film "6 Underground" decides to take matters into his hands.
actor, who plays enterprising billionaire called "1" in Netflix film, said his character in high octane action drama targets one such dictator and decides to bring down his regime with help of five or individuals.
Reylds said his character is someone who has lost his way and is disenfranchised with geopolitical issues and life in general.
"He does something that we all at a time wish we can do. You're watching news you're looking at world, see how it's on fire in places, re are dictators in charge, you wouldn't dignify m with any term or than a bully. y are injuring, hurting, maiming and killing huge swas of ir own population.
"So my character is a guy who basically takes this in his own hands, uses this insane amount of money that he has and decides to put it to use that makes world a better place," Reylds told reporters at press conference of "6 Underground" here.
43-year-old actor described Michael Bay-directed film as "muscular and beautiful".
He revealed that most of action sequences in film were performed by stuntpeople, and were t computer-generated imry (CGI).
Reylds also praised stunt performers on film and me a strong case for m, whom he described as "some of most overlooked crew people" in industry.
"I am a huge fan of analogue kind of visual effects as opposed to computer-generated visual effects. I love that what you see in this movie is so much of it actually happened.
"y are stunts that are being performed by incredibly talented stunt people, some of most overlooked crew people in this entire industry. feats that y pull off are some of most remarkable things that audiences are ever going to see."
Reylds, who was his usual witty self, said though he loves doing action, hand-to-hand combat or falling on cement after he turned 40 wasn't "hilarious anymore".
" hardest was fighting - hand-to-hand combat. After I turned 40, falling on cement isn't hilarious anymore... Mostly love action. I love performing it and learning from it. I love most of it, I wouldn't say it was challenging, it's exciting."
actor said fact that y were releasing film on Netflix and t in atres was a sign of changing times.
"I've been lucky that after working in this business for 25 years, I don't think I've worked on a movie that has this kind of scale and scope. Just fact that y are bringing this to Netflix is a real sign of time that how things are changing. This is a movie that is so big, muscular, such an event that I felt like a student again."
Reylds, who last visited Seoul to promote "Depool 2" in 2018, said Korean audience will love film.
"6 Underground" is a true blue Michael Bay actioner with cars and yachts blowing in air in picturesque locales in Italy to Hong Kong, on land, water and in air.
