Extraction is an action thriller based on the comic Ciudad. The movie is produced by AGBO and distributed by Netflix. Extraction is written by Joe Russo and directed by Sam Hargrave.
The story is a black market mercenary named Tyler Rake has been assigned on a mission to rescue the kidnapped son of a international crimelord. But the mission goes from deadly to impossible real quick and Tyler must make a decision, leave the boy and abandon the mission or continute with his assignment.
Initial Reaction
I by no means was anticipating this movie, primarly cause I prefer to go to theaters and watch stuff there. But with the whole CoronaVirus going on and multiple movies I was looking forward to getting either cancelled or pushed back, I decided to give reviewing Netflix movies a try. I mean it's not like I can go to the theater anytime soon.
Cons
The only downside to the movie is somewhere in the middle things can really start to drag. It almost felt like the movie was coming to a halt.
Middle Ground
The mix bag for Extraction is the main villain, Amir. He's got a good look, does messed up stuff, and has a real good introduction but it was really a bummer that the writers didn't do much with him. Cause typically in action flicks our main hero and our main bad guy at some point go head to head, but that didn't happen.
Pros
Now to tell you about the good things about the film, one of those being the action. Oh man, it was so awesome especially this one-take shot that one is definitely going to be a favorite. Another positive is Chris Hemsworth's performance. He really played the part of a badass mercenary really well while at the same time nailing Tyler's more emotional moments. The other aspect of Extraction that I came to like is Sam Hargrave's directing. Much like Tim Miller for Deadpool this was his first time directing a movie and did a spectacular job. The guy did well and I'd be lying if I said I was looking forward to what he directs next. The last thing I'll say about the movie is the character development. At first it was a little bit rusty earlier on but once things get going our characters do get more developed, especially Tyler and Ovi's father-son like bond.
Extraction is a very fun movie to watch. It has amazing action scenes, a good performance from Hemsworth, Hargrave's great directing, and pretty good character development. The villain Amir, while had a good start still good have done more. The only bad bit was the parts where the movie dragged.
My final rating is Good
Okay guys. I'm all finished here, do come back next time on Saturday, May 2nd for my review of Netflix's next movie All Day and a Night. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
