It’s thin story-wise, but it’s got some fantastic action sequences. Ideal movie to watch while locked inside your home.

In the same style of action as the 80s, a movie with no other aspirations than enjoying it with a large plate of popcorn. Just relax and enjoy.

This week instead of cleaning ourselves with Lysol or bleach we had the chance to watchAnother weekend, another opportunity to enjoy the finer things in life. Hope you all are staying safe out there and not using Lysol as COVID-19 medicine. This week instead of cleaning ourselves with Lysol or bleach we had the chance to watch the Netflix debut of Extraction. It's a long awaited Chris Hemsworth film, based upon a graphic novel "Cuidad", that promises action sequence upon action sequence, death-defying stunts by the top stuntmen in the game and brutally needed entertainment. The movie follows Tyler Rake (Hemsworth), a fearless black market mercenary, as he accepts the opportunity for the most deadly extraction of his career - a plot to extract a teenager out of the grasp of his imprisoned father's rival. Let's see if Extraction is worth all the hype.

Now, since I don't want to bring any bad karma on myself, I'm only going to speak about the good things about this movie. NAHHHH! I'm just playing. Don't get me wrong, I love John Wick movies, but the third one had minimal storyline, if any, and all action. That's exactly Extraction. That's not necessarily a horrible thing if that is what you're looking for; but, it becomes an issue when the producers attempt to wedge in a meaningful storyline and it just tanks. I'm not saying that I didn't care about my boy, Thor, but let's be honest it doesn't matter if he survives as long as he kicks major butt along the way. Also, there's no set up to care about the kid either so who cares if people are chasing after them. On top of that, the writing and editing of certain scenes just never pushed the viewer to care. The quieter scenes seem so forced and you're just sitting there screaming, "Get back to the killing!"

Ok, great, I'll get back to the killing as well. Can someone finally explain why military/special forces/police trained soldiers are soooo terrible at shooting one man in these type of movies? I mean really it has gotten bad in these type of movies. I'm okay with the suspension of belief for a little bit but good grief, Charlie Brown. At least the sequences are clear, vivid and seamless. The filming and setting of the movie is pretty amazing.

Nevertheless, Extraction does provide some really good action sequences. Truly, these sequences are pretty close to John Wick sequences and in fact a couple of them seem to be outright bitten or borrowed from that franchise. If anything, there is too much action; but let's be real there's never too much. On top of that, Chris Hemsworth really excels in this brutal role. He transitioned very well between super soldier and father figure. He should definitely take on a few more roles like this, but hopefully the movie would have a bit more comedy, like a Die Hard type role.

Needless to say, action fans you’ll be in for a treat with a fresh box of popcorn. Between great sequences and bodies falling everywhere, you all will enjoy. For everyone else, this more of a handful of streaming kernels. There is not enough storyline or depth in characters to get you to be invested in them to rush you to watch Extraction. In fact, this movie is so brutal and gory that you might be turned off from watching the movie anyway. You can stream it if bored but I hope you don’t have a soft stomach.

He plays a mercenary who's hired to rescue a crime lord's kidnapped son in Bangladesh. They fight their way across a city with a constant barrage of human obstacles. This is the first directorial effort by Sam Hargrave, who was stunt coordinator on Avengers:Endgame and Captain America: Civil War (writer/director of those, Joe Russo, wrote this). His skills are the standout: insane car chases, intense fights, absurd body count and incredible camerawork. Other than the almost-continuous well-staged violence, there's not much about the plot or performances that matters. Fans of the genre will get plenty of bruises and blows. Expand

It was a roller coaster ride I never wanted to get off of. The fact this is a Netflix original there is no reason to miss this epic action movie.

As far as action movies go, this is top notch. Great camera work, and very good work at stitching scenes together to immerse you into the action and the story.

People that are worried about proper dialect, and things like that, are losing focus that this is a movie. I bet if you took any movie with foreign speaking dialects, and had the people from those countries review it, we would come away with the same type of biased ratings this movie is getting. Then when people say it's a bad storyline, they're losing focus of the intended story. They are not looking at the movie as a whole. All the acting is fantastic, and as an American, without knowing the proper dialect, thought the Indian actors did exceptionally well. great expression of emotion, and in fact they're acting drew me into the movie more. So those who are worried about proper dialect, take it from a white guy,I thought it represented the acting talent of your people very well. I don't think an action movie like this could have been as good if you would have put more Americans in it. That's because we get so caught up in one-liners and boxy and canned statements when it comes to action movies. This movie had drama, and pulled at the heartstrings when you understand the backdrop of those trying to save the kid. I would put this right up there with John wick, but I thought the acting was just as good and if not better. The fight scenes were more crisp, and did not input politically correct ideologies. It just was a good action movie, with good acting, that grabs several emotions that most action movies don't accomplish. I honestly don't know how anyone could give this movie less than a seven or eight. I would like to see their top 10 list of action movies and I bet you will see this movie would rank in any of those 10 and if not higher.

But cooler. if you are into military movies for civilians stuff watch it and if your a vet got watch Vet-tv but this is a good side bar movie. I’d give it a 100/10 bc it give you nice fights like in John wick movies. Chris Hemsworth Does a amazing job in another military like role. But all in all I’d suggest you watch it great movie. Expand

The 12-Minute, One-Shot Action Scene alone worth the vision of this film. If you are a fan of the genre this is the right movie. A little gem in Netflix Library. Expand

Don't watch it for the plot, as it's quite basic. It's a story that's been told before. The choreography, camera work, stunts and action however are top notch. Better than most Bond movies. Anyone who can't see this needs to re-watch some of these scenes in Extraction. We've got long single-shot (seemingly)scenes with incredible camera work, flying impossibly in all directions while the action is non stop and thrilling. I've seen COUNTLESS tough-guy movies just like this that are of a much poorer caliber. Extraction is solid film-making and a fun ride. The ending didn't really satisfy me though. There's no message or theme to walk away with.

The older I get the more convinced that most critics and 40% of the public are full of #$@%. And hey, whatever, that's fine. No skin off my back. I'm just glad I have my own taste and can form my own opinions without looking to others or the status quo for direction. So many people don't have that. So I'm lucky, I guess.

Aimless action. The whole film are two hours that go pretty much nowhere.

Extraction is a frontal action film built in the old way where the main character is a total badass who kills everyone without any narrative involvement greater than the situation he's in at the time.

A great stunt work, yes, but a very bad job in the special effects.
Many of the scenes involving visual effects look really bad.

Chris Hemsworth at least departs from the role of the muscular funny guy and delivers a more sober performance but it's hardly a performance that separates him from what he has been doing so far.

There are people who will enjoy a film like this one and obviously it was made for that audience, for my part, I will hardly think about it again.

Story is also very similar, A broken man with nothing to lose takes a rescue mission to save a drug-barons son, kidnapped by his rivals. A seemingly easy mission goes wrong, and the two has to fight their way out of a locked down city. Seems original? well It is not. However it is largely carried by Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda who does a great role. But there is little character development going on.
on a large scale it is backed up by very close quarter tactical combat action. Other than this, there is not much to say about Extraction. It is a good filler for Sunday.

People doesn't roam around with machine guns , let alone teenagers. Um4 letting go the bad accent which is no where near can be called Bangla, yellow desertish filter while the country is green, hindi song in every house which is ridiculous. How come Police and Army of a country support mafia? C'mon, this is just too much. Just study a bit before you tarnish a country's name. Bangladesh is nothing like this. This movie has great action and probably will be studied for these but it also made Bangladesh seem bad towards the world. May be no action will be taken but they should apologize or atleast change the name to some fictional country like Wakanda!!!
P.S. Bangladeshi people wear far better clothes.

Just because it's a bloody action movie, doesn't mean that you gotta get every single fact wrong.

People in Bangladesh don't talk in that accent, they don't listen to hindi music in their homes in the middle of the day. Hooligans in Dhaka don't use AK-47s. Heads of the mafia don't let wasted kids in their dining rooms.

Most importantly, a big foreign guy like Hemmy doesn't just go around talking suspiciously on the phone in broad daylight in the middle of a busy street in Dhaka without attracting huge crowd.

60 something year old leader of a law & enforcement starts sniping and accurately killing people by headshots from quite a distance? Give me a break! That's superhero stuff. Wait..

Action was good, but nothing spectacular or ground-breaking by today's standard.

'Extraction' is a fun popcorn action movie.... but man does it get brutal.

The best compliment I can give to this movie, besides the action scenes, was having the balls to harm or flat out kill children, which took me by surprise, but immediately got my attention.

The action scenes are the highlight of the movie, of course. I know this is a tired phrase when it comes to movies with a grand spectacle, but some of the action scenes in this movie really did feel like a video game. I think it has to do with the 11-minute-long take, camera work, and the intense detail to action set pieces that was executed wonderfully. The fight scenes and shoot outs have not been this sharp in a while.

Chris Hemsworth is a strong leading man, while also displaying some dramatic acting chops. The actor, who played the boy, was not as annoying as I thought he will be. Also, David Harbour is an absolute beast, especially next to Hemsworth.

However, it does have some problems. The main villain is so paper thin and forgettable that when the movie ends, you are not going to remember him.

I do not get why in these Hollywood action movies where foreign countries have this ugly colour palette. This movie is no different, even down to the same colour, which is muddy piss.

The movie has a plot, just a simple one. It is cliched as well, with the main character (Hemsworth) losing his son many years ago in a galaxy far far away. You've seen this trope before. Then again, the audience are not here for deep storytelling. Just give them action and they will be entertained. There is nothing wrong with that.

Overall rating: Solid entertainment, which is what we need right now, especially at this strange time of our lives.

An absolute fantastic movie, from start to finish, really makes you grip your seat throughout the movie. If you love John Wick, Atomic blonde, then this is a treat. Please ignore the bad reviews, just watch it. Really excellent movie.

Extraction is an extremely generic and forgettable, yet still mildly entertaining. The actions scenes are excellent and Chris Hemsworth is great. Everything else is just okay.

Disappointing in every single way... the islamophobic propaganda and the choice of making it a generic action white savior movie is one of the worst moves for Chris Hemsworth and for everyone that made that the movie come to life. The factDisappointing in every single way... the islamophobic propaganda and the choice of making it a generic action white savior movie is one of the worst moves for Chris Hemsworth and for everyone that made that the movie come to life. The fact that the most famous and powerful actors and producers chose to make a crowd pleasing movie instead of pushing the boundaries of cinema and exploring it’s delicacy and intricacy shows that they bring nothing new to the table, and it’s a shame such talented actors decided to do so. As for camera work, we get it, third world countries are yellow in your eyes. But there’s so much to explore yet such a narrow vision. Expand

TheGoing to try and keep this short and spoiler free - Generic action movie with a plot we have all seen many times before, and several scenes are pretty much taken from other movies.... However the secret sauce here in the execution. The director is a seasoned stunt performer and it shows.
There are a few interesting twists to make the story feel a little less recycled but unfortunately there's noting really innovative about the plot, it's all in the acting and action of which is both varied and impressive including an awesome 20 min oneshot. (although there will be hidden cuts in there).
TL;DR - Entertaining movie to sit down, turn your brain off and enjoy.

The Persian actressIt was a good movie, I thought Chris’s did a great job, brought range of emotions, the action scenes are good, the Indian boy is also a star of the movie, Greta acting, very believable crying scenes by the little boy. The Persian actress didn’t do much acting so can’t say anything about her. Now the faults of the movie:
1. Weak plot and screenplay, 2. Plot had holes, 3. Ambiguous ending, which I guess is done on purpose, If there be a sequel, they need a better plot, replace the Goldshifteh with Another actress and keep us guessing what the ending will be.
I’m rooting for Chris, so gave it 5 stars.

What interested me in watching this film was seeing Chris Hemsworth in a movie outside of Marvel and the fact that this film was produced by the Russo brothers who did amazing Marvel movies. However, this movie was a Netflix exclusive movieWhat interested me in watching this film was seeing Chris Hemsworth in a movie outside of Marvel and the fact that this film was produced by the Russo brothers who did amazing Marvel movies. However, this movie was a Netflix exclusive movie which is rarely a hit. The basic premise of the movie is Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) has got to extract the child of a drug lord in India who was kidnapped by the drug lord of Bangladesh for money. Simple.

Starting with the positive and probably the biggest reason why anyone wants to watch this movie, the action. This movie goes for a John Wick style of action with its incredible choreography and fast pace action. The action scenes are extremely violent and brutal which is borderline gratuitous but so entertaining. There is one particular action scene which is filmed to make it seem like an 11 minute one camera shot scene and it is really good even if the cuts are obvious. Praise should also be given to Chris Hemsworth's performance who gives a lot of likability and charisma for his character. Additionally, it is clear that Chris did a lot of the stunt for this movie and the director utilized this properly and effectively. The soundtrack and cinematography are also pretty good especially considering the scenery and high octane action.

This is where the praise ends. How was this a screenplay/story from the Russo brothers? It's very barebone and has a lot of forgettable dialogue. There is a plan from one of the drug lord that just feels really dumb and done so we can have a cool fight. Additionally, there are non-action moments in the movie where it just feels like time panning and slowing down the momentum. These moments would be fine if it felt like it was adding something but these moments are a bore with mediocre dialogue and boring characters that it is uninteresting. The movie is also very predictable and this is due to the fact that this movie adopts way too many cliches from older action movies but just giving a fresh coat of paint. These moments made me just wish they would just get to the next action set piece already. On that note of characters, they give some backstory for Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) and the ex-military man who was hunting him to make him sympathetic but that's it. It would be nice to have been shown and not just told stuff about him because it just feels like a throwable line just to quickly give Tyler some characterization. What about his relationship with the mercenary girl or even David Harbour. Speaking of David Harbour even though he is a great actor, his character is incredibly forgettable. Every supporting character is forgettable to the point that I don't really know anything about them. The kid that Tyler saves likes playing the piano and is a son of a drug lord but apart from that, we know nothing about him. I would love to know more about his character by exploring his relationship a bit more with his father and ex-military dude or even how life is like as a son of a murderous drug lord. Furthermore, the relationship between Tyler and the kid just feels incredibly rushed and unearned. They just suddenly have huge trust in each other without any conflict which just feels unnatural. A lot of critics have bashed its aimless violence but it doesn't really bother me but I do feel that it doesn't feel necessary a lot of the times. However, the last act of this movie gets really tedious by giving hoards of mindless goons for Tyler to kill that just kind of makes you feel numb and bored of it.

If all you want from a movie is Chris Hemsworth kicking ass then this movie is really good. The director was definitely a stunt man as this movie has great stunts which shows the experience of a veteran stunts person. However, these action scenes don't really do something drastically new so don't expect anything revolutionary either. The action is all this movie got going for it. If you expect a good story or good characters similar to John Wick then this movie does not have that going for it sadly.

The cinematography is bland, the action set pieces, minus the one take one, was bland and the characters were bland. The script was terrible and the story was so bloated and boring that I was scratching my head wondering why they made this movie 2 hours long. I would have been more lenient if the movie was at max an hour and a half long but 2 hours is pushing it. I would recommend passing on this unless you really want to watch it. Expand

Levando em conta que a proposta do filme é entretenimento da forma mais "passa tempo" possível, o resultado não chega a ser ruim. Porém, qual o diferencial?

As cenas de ação são interessantes em determinados pontos. Alguns planos são relativamente longos, e também há uma coreografia bem trabalhada, mas nada que fuja do padrão. A câmera não é tão tremida, mas o fato dela não explorar a geografia do local e dar mais ênfase a luta como uma disputa, mas sim como um figurante aleatório para o protagonista matar, me incomodou bastante. Nada parece um desafio, e o roteiro descaradamente ajuda o protagonista a se safar de situações improváveis. Eu não me importaria se não fosse contraditório, visto que o final é deveras pessimista para o gênero. Como eu costumo dizer, isso causa uma consequência muito ruim para a trama, que parece subestimar o público e não cativa nenhum sentimento. As mortes finais tem um apelo dramático sem lógica, que esbanjam ser puramente convenientes.

O desenvolvimento dos personagens ocorre de uma maneira mínima para que se haja o que temer, seja algo indireto - como uma família - ou direto - sendo o próprio personagem.
Posso dizer que, para o gênero, é até suficiente. Porém, não me atiçou em momento algum. Não da pra entender muito bem de onde vem a empatia de um Mercenário como o Tyler, já que a morte do seu filho não bate. O seu ressentimento ao matar crianças - que são bandidos e se tornarão piores - é incompreensível para quem está a tanto tempo no ramo e chega a matar sem hesitar. O garoto é aceitável; seu antigo companheiro - "ex-mercenário"-, interpretado por David Harbour, é lúcido e calejado, só que no contexto do filme, só parece mais outro atrás de dinheiro.

O figurino é muito bom, junto a cenografia. A edição de áudio retrata bem a poluição sonora, que junto a fotografia [com uma paleta de cores muito quente], passa bem a sensação de estar num local como aquele.

Further vacuous shmup video game film: plot reduced to the clash of who is more sanguinary and failed between paternal and filial figures.

Extraction comes out at a time when a lot of people could use some extra action in their lives. Sadly, Extraction only provides the absolute minimum. Sure, it has all of the requisite explosions and killing, but it lacks any sense of style.Extraction comes out at a time when a lot of people could use some extra action in their lives. Sadly, Extraction only provides the absolute minimum. Sure, it has all of the requisite explosions and killing, but it lacks any sense of style. If you have seen an action movie from the last 20 years then you have essentially already watched Extraction. It is a shame that the film could not have more of an identity of its own. I was hoping Extraction would help break up the monotony of quarantine life, but instead it fit right in. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie wants to be John Wick meets Sicario, but it lacks a unique enough identity to make it work.

This is one of the most clichéd, generic and unremarkable action movies I've seen in a while.

Everything from its ugly, yellow-tinted cinematography to its horrible script, makes it almost indistinguishable from some direct-to-video action film that no one ever buys.

It isn't all negative though.
The action is, for the most part, pretty impressive.
There's one sequence that is one long take and it's by far the best moment in the movie (if you can overlook the painfully obvious hidden cuts).

Chris Hemsworth's performance is alright, but his character is not memorable or likeable.
David Harbour shows up towards the middle and he's really good, but he's gone far too quickly.
The kid that plays Hemsworth's rescue target is really not good. He's suposed to be scared for most of the movie, but he just looks confused.

It's a bore and it sucks, which is a shame, because there could be a good movie buried in here, somewhere.

It also kinda, sorta, maybe sets up a sequel?
Which is wierd.

A tough film full of action. I enjoyed every scene. Chris Hamsworth did an amazing job. The emotional ending finished it off. Very cool!
