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.… Expand

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. I say grab some pop-corn and sit in your upright position because Extraction is going to give you a ride that you'll be happy to be on.… Expand

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.… Expand

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 central car chase scene is just epic. Chris Hemsworth steps out of his superhero clothes and gives us a convincing performance. The plot is nothing unseen but it's solid. 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

Extraction really clicked for me. It's a solid action flick. Don't watch it for the plot, as it's quite basic. It's a story that's been told before.

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

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.
