Six is both an example of the advantages of low budget independent film making and some of the constraints.
The settings for both the 3 seemingly trapped people, and the mysterious observers, is impressive. The tunnels and offices are atmospheric and De La Mare knows how to use a camera to good effect, creating a compelling and interesting story which runs for just the right amount of time.
The film does falter is some departments, action is always difficult to do with limited resources and Six tries but does fall short at making realistic and engaging action. Also the actors are either still young or inexperienced and it can take away from the attempts to build tension in bits, however don't take away from a dramatic ending that does make up for most faults.
Six is a good effort, the sort of effort that warrants more money given to the people who made it, to create an even better film as a result.
